I recently read a good article on IGN that discussed handhelds vs iPhones/Ipads. The article auther drew the comparison between digital cameras and handhelds: The sale for digital cameras have declined alot since the phones got decent cameras built in them - but at the same time the sales for more expansive system cameras have risen. In this example the system cameras are the handheld and the phoes are... well, the phones. And I think this applice to home consoles as well; people will play "quick" games on the iPads, but gotta turn to the console for a more deeper experience!

They can keep their buttons. With a 3d camera in the next Ipad the kinect will be obsolete.

(here reiterates the desire for VGChartz to have a "like" button.)

I don't see why that is necessary? It takes mere seconds to estimate that the topic is most unappealing to the majority.

Well, a tablet can do many things, but it seems more of a multipurpose tool than a console killer, camera killer, computer killer, etc.

A photographer isn't going to be using a ipad to take quality pictures, as a gamer isn't going going to be content with playing angry bards.

I should start herding crows so I can feed them to Peter Vesterbacka and his friends who keep predicting the end of console gaming.
