Just like the DS and Wii, the games tailored for the interface have a large opportunity to wow. My only concern is with iPad, iPhone, iPod and even Natal is that they dont have much of a first party to deliver those tailored experiences and the Wii has me sour with trusting third parties to deliver it.

Board games on the iPad seem ingenious. They suit the form factor and there is no clean up and put away and saves for convenience. I could see myself doing even more social gaming because of that.

without buttons, the whole world would be wearing sweatpants...think about it!

I agree! I will never buy a phone with touch only and will quit gaming if I can't use a controller with buttons

Buttons >>> pretending to be pushing virtual buttons on touch screen.

Touch screen is prime example of gadget winning against usefullness (even in phone you can select number from your contact list much faster with buttons than with all this touch screen scrolling nonsense_
