As for gaming, many publishers are already making more money from Apple App Store games than they are they are from the DS or PSP. I am sure this will only expand with the addition of the iPad.

Has there been any news on the 3d hardware in the iPad? i saw the screen was 4x the resolution of the ipod, but saw nothing about the graphics hardware.

THat's because all you need for a game to be popular on the iphone is a simulation of throwing a piece of paper into a trashcan.

Just as how it's always been, an environment like that is going to become clogged very easily. In such cases,  games that are actually worth playing are going to be few and far between.

 

Actually, throwing a piece of paper for me makes more sense to call it game than watching those hours of cut-scenes and computer animation which modern "true games" became :P

Shouldn't we declare HD-twins gaming somehow clogged too?

Joke right? That is really not the case.



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

I dont see why you would need this if you have an iphone. I love games on my phone I just wish they would release an iphone with trigger buttons

Seems like you're far too concerned about the HD systems for someone who throws paper into a bucket for fun.

EDIT: also, the difference between my example and yours is that mine is accurate and yours is a reflection of a very small portion of console games.

^ Im not sure I agree there are a lot of games for the iphone "worth playing". The issue is there is so many games "throwing paper in trashcans" out there that if your lazy and don't take the time to navigate the store you wont find them. All I know is I can get a very good action rpg that last me hours for 3 bucks and delivered instantly to my phone. I love it

That's my whole point.

The public is lazy. The service is clogged. This is a very similar occurence on the wii, which many people agree to.

So it's a massive, expensive iPod touch?

I want it.



Fame_Mcswagg on 27 January 2010

staying on topic however I voted no for this to be a gaming option. One is the price compared to whats out there right now and 2 is to me its just an oversized iphone. If your into mobile gaming like myself the phone would be a smarter choice.
