Quality >>>>> Quantity

the iphone may be better than the PSP but it can only have dreams about being in the same world as the DS, let alone compete with it!!

PSP hater alert.. just because you didn't buy any PSP games, doesn't mean it doesn't have good games..

Opinion hater alert.

how can you form an opinion if you bougth absolutely no games for the PSP..

Because he didn't want to buy any since there weren't any good ones!

how informed he is about PSP and it's games gives me the impression that he knows nothing about it's game library..

I think the fact that they released number of games rather then revenue says something. I'm curious to see how much is spent on Iphone games vs DS and/or PSP games.

there was an article on vgchartz about how the iphone passed PSP in retail revenue last year. It was still a far cry from the DS. I don't think many of these are even proper games, and i don't mean because they are casual but because it probably includes stuff like fart apps and ishotty.

I cant consider apple competitors, because well....they aint. Just look at the damn games for iphone, theyre not exactly proper games now are they?

Plenty of people said the same thing about Nintendos casual software in the beginning. Its irrelivant if you consider them proper games or not, they are games and they are selling and Apple is making big bucks without really even trying because its all the 3rd parties and independants doing the work for them.

Although I do not thing the mobile and handheld gaming sectors are the same thing. They will co-exist, not destroy each other.

At some point, what happens when all the DS and PSP stuff starts to appear on the iPhone, and anyone developing also develops for the iPhone? That could happen here. Don't dust off Apple like they aren't going to change the landscape. They just might here, and then you have a big 3 in handhelds the way you do with the home consoles.

The same attitudes I see in this thread towards Apple, I saw directed at Nintendo before the Wii ended up owning the home console market. There are developers now creating game apps for the iPhone. A group of them meet down in NYC regularly and discuss development. You know what else they are developing for, like the PSP or DS? How about neither, just the iPhone.
