Forums - Gaming - It's On: Apple Calls Out Sony and Nintendo Directly

Because it's so much harder developing for the iPhone as opposed to PSP or DS?

Get real Apple.

Out of the 50,700 there's probably a couple games worth playing anyways.

Which are those?  If you can't even name the candidates, then you are just speculating out of fear that your expectations of what the game market is, isn't what you thought.  At this point and time, the iPod/iPhone platform has supplanted the PSP.  Sony released the PSP Go to compete with the iPod/iPhone and failed to gain traction.  This is not a good place to be in.  Nintendo went with the DSi also to counter Apple to.  I would be concern about all this, and not brush it off as "wow, the iPhone just sucks".

You may, for example, consider doing some googling:

The iPhone has Tiger Woods Golf, among other games for it that are of note.

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!

PING PING we have a winner!

And leo-j my games owned list on this site is very incomplete for the handhelds, PC & Ps1. I got a PSP in 2006, got around 6 games during the 3 years in which I had it

in 09 I sold it for the Nintendo DS.....and thank god I did, I was missing so much.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Haha apple in gaming. Basically they'd have a system with the power of a PS1 for $800 and the only launch title will be that sliding puzzle thing. This is apple we're talking about here.



Some business taking a swipe at the competion. Nothing to see here folks.

I doubt Nintendo's DSi had anything to do with Apple. They brought it out in Japan because sales were slowing down (they nearly lost the year to the PSP).

@ the article:
Bragging about the number of games makes little sense. The DS isn't stomping the PSP's sales because it has 2,000 more games, it's the other way around - developers jumped on the DS because it sold tons. It's mainly Nintendo's first party games that are responsible for the success of the system, and they've made what, 100 or so games?

It'd be like comparing the number of PC games with those on home consoles. It doesn't tell us anything. Revenue, or sales, on the other hand...

They forgot to mention that 50,650 of their games suck.


Something like that. So I present to you, based on the internet theory that 90% of things suck, coupled with the irrefutable fact of Wagram, the following- systems, and number of games actually worth playing:

Nintendo DS: 432
Sony PSP: 248
Apple iStuff: 50

So we can see that clearly, Apple has a quality issue here. It doesn't matter if you have 50K things, if they all suck. It'd be like saying I have 2000 PS2 games. Who cares if most of them suck? Not to mention I'm sure that the depth of 50,690 of Apple's "games" is only about 1 or 2 minutes deep, compared to about 25 on PSP or 43 on DS. Wake me when the iStuff has a game with the depth of Fire Emblem, Persona, or Wild Arms.

-On a quest for the truly perfect game; I don't think it exists...

Quality DEFINITELY over Quantity in my opinion.

I was going to rebuy it for Agito XIII

but seriously now, I'd rather invest in a 3DS.
