| Me said: interesting, of course with the touch screen also then it could get some decent games as these days the best DS games hardly use any buttons at all and it's all done via the stylus. If this takes off - this may just force Nintendo's hand to relaunch a new handheld / new model DS earlier than expected thats totally backwards comatible with DS games and drop the GBA backwards compatibility with a new slimline design, storage media, has a section on WiiWare, can store demos and of course more powerful. |
I don't think that this will compete directly enough with DS or PSP to do serious damage to that market. The price difference and specialization of DS and PSP mean that somebody looking for a gaming device will compare those two offerings, adn probably not even consider the iPhone.
However, people who pick up an iPhone for its other features and are interested in having a gaming device as well will probably buy games for their iPhone rather than pick up another portable device. That's a few million people, rather than the dozens of millions of DS owners.
