I wonder how many kids who really like gaming will go for an $600-$800 phone to play angry birds, or a $130 3ds to play real games. This is something that they have to get clear, they are not gamers, a real gamer will not play games on a phone unless is for like 5min. So anyone who really wants to play games will always opt in for a dedicated gaming console.

What a disgustingly elitist post. 

 

Oh yeah, iPhone doesn't cost $600-$800. Buy with contract costs $200 and unlike the 3DS you don't get charged $30+ for a game.

It has better online too w/ friend challenges, achievements, friend lists, high scores, etc... via Gamecenter. Games are priced better too. Squids costs less on iOS (1/3rd the price), Ace Attorney Trilogy HD costs less on iOS (Half the price).

So stay elitist and enjoy being left behind as the rest of the world moves forward. No amount of your terrible attitude will change it.

Not even with a contract is the iphone 6 going to cost $200. DOnt kid yourself.

Dont know about ace atorny, but the rest are a bunch of shovelware that you can find anywhere. Why dont you mention a game like The world ends with you, that last time I chekd it cost $20. Because they will always charge the same for quality games that play similar on the other devices. I saw another post you mentioned some jrpgs you had, wich where all old as hell and would never charge a lot for that, since they can be hacked and goten for free, although that means nothing since dedicated consoles also get hack.

Do you really think big publishers will release big games and sell them for $5 dollars on iphones? No. They will releaae old ports and shovelware. I cant find the study that said people dont like paying more than $10 on a game on phones or tablets. And the majority of games that sell well dont cost even $5. That means that for them to breach the market they will have to make games tha will sell for $5 and will have to sell more then 8 times then what they sell on 3ds to be sucsesfull. Considering that most people that play gammes on phones dont really care for story, or anything important since they play 5min at a time they will only play little games that dont cost much to make and are awfull to someone that came from a console and knows what a real game is. Thas the reason why ports sell for so chap on phones, cuz people dont pay for them, so publishers port really old games that are done and wont cost them to develope just port.

You are full of misinformation.

Don't try to tell me what iPhone will sell for. I own one and am buying this one too. I know what the cost will be as they announced it today and it is the same price it has always been.

 

Not even going to bother with the rest of your post. You can talk shit all you want and continue to spread the FUD, iOS is still a fantastic gaming device with great games, but go ahead and think everything is either old or a flappy bird clone. S-E also has little issue selling games for $15+. It sells if the quality is there. Also if a game sells for cheap it can still make money through IAP and/or ad banners.
