What about?

I currently use this for the games that offer it.

Actually, what Apple is considering part of its 50,000 games is easily surpassed with the idea that DS and PSP (correct me if I'm wrong) can go online and play a lot of those same type of games for free.

Its simply a bunch of crap web flash type games that the uber-casual loves. Nothing more. The higher end IPs that gamers buy DS/PSP for are really crappy on the mobile sphere or don't exist at all.

My guess is the PSP2 will get murdered first, when you look at it, Sony was trying to go make a multimedia machine out of it and Apple product do a much better job than Sony for that.( your Iphone, is a phone, an internet surfing machine, a book and now a gaming portable..)

Nintendo might resist better thanks to the strength of it's first party titles but it is going to be hard to retain the more casual users of cooking mama for example...

You know that's what HD users ( myself included) have been saying about Carnival Games for the last 3 years, look where it took us..

Totally different. Apple totally relies on 3rd party and has no real mascot. When people think of Nintendo they think of Mario, Sega with Sonic, Microsoft with Halo, and Sony with a few titles. When people think of Apple no major thing comes to mind.

Nintendo is pretty much rock solid, they have AAA first party titles which people buy the system for. Sony and MS have CoD which makes people buy their systems. When people buy an iTouch or iPhone it's for other things and gaming is more of a capability that is not the main function.

Also, the platform itself has major problems. Touch only controls are fun but are terrible for FPS and many other genres. Apple also produces no games on their own so their whole library depends on the willingness of other companies to invest in it.

Apple has a long way to go to overthrow any of the gaming companies.

Mascots didn't make Nintendo win this gen.

Wii Sports, Wii Fit and co did.

NSMBWii only came 3 years after the Wii release and galaxy didn't move that many units.

As for no FPS, the Wii did very well without them for a long time and people do not play FPS on portable, what FPS exactly do people play on the PSP or the DS ?

You're thinking with the mindset of a gamer, not the one of a casual new comer to the gaming market (like many DS and Wii users are).

Honestly, take a random guy on the street, chances is he doesn't even know what Sonic is.........

Reaction of some gamers is ironic indeed. They dismiss competition by the same cliches they've dismissed DS not so long time age - "real\true gamers" - and all this stupid lingvo. People never learn.

Still I'm confused. It seems this time the reaction of media and industry is much more favourable (where're you, Geoff Keighley, with your "PSP is a revolution", uh?). Why is that?

50k games ?
