I also think that you are full of it for the fact that you are saying you don't want to have to wave your portable console around just to turn, well you're in luck because you do not have to wave it it around, you merely have to tilt it a small angle to either side or you can choose from the other multiple ways to steer that most of the racing titles offer. You're making it sound like you have to move a great deal. only the console must move not your entire body, so you only have to move your wrists a half inch or so. NO BIG DEAL! Why do you come on to a story about the iphones and make a comment pretending like you're trying to be objective and have no bias when it is obvious you have a biased opinion of the device and by the description of the gameplay you obviously have not had any experience with the device because it is completely backwards from the actual thing. Not to mention the fact that you mention racing games and the accelerometer because I would imagine that is what is talked about most often in news stories about the phone. There are far more categories of games than \"racing\" and a great deal take advantage of the accelerometer. I think racing games are quite fun on the ipods, being able to actually control the car with the console is great (I mean we all lean into a turn when we have the playstation/xbox controllers in our hands already why not make it actually do something.) My Xbox360 is awesome but the Wii is far more fun, I think that is the reason I like the Wii so much is that you kind of get the feeling you're really doing that thing. I think a lot of other people feel the same way considering the sales numbers of the Wii. We all know the xbox and PS3 are far superior machines than the Wii but it's just fun to play the Wii sometimes. And I think that is the reason people like and are liking the iphone more and more every day because of that same reason. (The difference with it though compared to the Wii is that it has superior computing power to its rivals in class and I would argue superior hardware too.) I would like to state here that I probably do have a bias towards the iphone/ipod touch as I am an owner and frequent user of both. I believe I can still have an objective view on the matter though. I do not own a DS or PSP but have used both on quite a few occasions. I own a Wi and Xbox360 too and like them each in their own ways (probably more xbox now though since I can stream netflix to my tv now!) I just do not appreciate people coming on to these sites and just bad mouthing various products because they have a bias against them. These reviews can be very useful to someone in the market for the product and it does them a real disservice to have to read that crap. If you have a negative opinion on a device based on merit I think you should absolutely express your opinion as it would be a great disservice to that same person to not be able to hear those views as well.

VERY addicting, and you don\'t have to move anything. it looks like a gameboy, but better, because the entire screen can be used (for example you swipe a circle on any part of the screen and your player makes a trick move spinning in a circle. This game is equally as good as FIFA Soccer 2000, graphics wise and game play wise. Of course graphics wise its not as great as the new soccer games for the PC or consoles, but for a portable device...the best i have ever seen, similar to the PSP, which is much bigger. <br>Don\'t believe it? try it for yourself. Don\'t like soccer?try enigmo, Hold\'em, or even the outstanding FLUTE Ocarina ( play the flute on your phone by blowing in to the microphone and tap the holes to change the pitch...outstanding!!)<br><br>As for nintendo or the PSP...they beat the iphone with battery life...thats IT. games cost much more than on the iphone..so you can get a battery expansion pack for the money you safe.<br>and i haven\'t even started on the NON-game apps...its cool to have EVERYTHING you want in one device</div>\

Is going to be someone who doesn\'t use an iphone/ipod touch because there are far more games for the device that do nothing with the accelerometer and they are fantastic. I also think that you are full of it for the fact that you are saying you don\'t want to have to wave your portable console around just to turn, well you\'re in luck because you do not have to wave it it around, you merely have to tilt it a small angle to either side or you can choose from the other multiple ways to steer that most of the racing titles offer. You\'re making it sound like you have to move a great deal. only the console must move not your entire body, so you only have to move your wrists a half inch or so. NO BIG DEAL! Why do you come on to a story about the iphones and make a comment pretending like you\'re trying to be objective and have no bias when it is obvious you have a biased opinion of the device and by the description of the gameplay you obviously have not had any experience with the device because it is completely backwards from the actual thing. Not to mention the fact that you mention racing games and the accelerometer because I would imagine that is what is talked about most often in news stories about the phone. There are far more categories of games than "racing" and a great deal take advantage of the accelerometer. I think racing games are quite fun on the ipods, being able to actually control the car with the console is great (I mean we all lean into a turn when we have the playstation/xbox controllers in our hands already why not make it actually do something.) My Xbox360 is awesome but the Wii is far more fun, I think that is the reason I like the Wii so much is that you kind of get the feeling you\'re really doing that thing. I think a lot of other people feel the same way considering the sales numbers of the Wii. We all know the xbox and PS3 are far superior machines than the Wii but it\'s just fun to play the Wii sometimes. And I think that is the reason people like and are liking the iphone more and more every day because of that same reason. (The difference with it though compared to the Wii is that it has superior computing power to its rivals in class and I would argue superior hardware too.) I would like to state here that I probably do have a bias towards the iphone/ipod touch as I am an owner and frequent user of both. I believe I can still have an objective view on the matter though. I do not own a DS or PSP but have used both on quite a few occasions. I own a Wi and Xbox360 too and like them each in their own ways (probably more xbox now though since I can stream netflix to my tv now!) I just do not appreciate people coming on to these sites and just bad mouthing various products because they have a bias against them. These reviews can be very useful to someone in the market for the product and it does them a real disservice to have to read that crap. If you have a negative opinion on a device based on merit I think you should absolutely express your opinion as it would be a great disservice to that same person to not be able to hear those views as well. So grow up and leave the comments section to people that have actually used the product and can be of use to the prospective buyer reading their reviews/opinions.</div>\

Nokia failed twice with the Ngage by combining a crappy handheld console with a crappy phone.<br><br>iPhone and iPod Touch on the other hand have already well established themselves as decent smart phones and media players that are already in peoples hands. They can work slowly on establishing themselves as gaming platforms since it\'s more of a bonus feature, rather than something mission critical. <br><br>Now it\'s the DS that has to sell itself to iPhone/Touch owners to convince them to buy a separate piece of hardware just for gaming. <br><br>Since the iPhone/Touch already earn their revenues as phones and media devices, they can stick around while developers figure out how to take full advantage of the hardware for games. Everyone has a mobile phone, not everyone needs a game console.

Guys, there are millions and millions of little kids out there and they belong to Nintendo.<br><br>How many parents would buy their two kids iPod Touches each for Christmas ($229 each for the 8 gig) or two DS\'s ($99 each on sale). Plus the games, of course... which my kids will be sharing.<br><br>The article states that 85 million DSs have been sold. That\'s not 85 million technophiles. 10s of millions of those are little kids who casually use their DS.<br><br>Eventually one day these kids are going to turn into another demographic with a different reach. But they\'ll quickly be replaced by other kids (as young as 4-years-old). And it\'s those little kids that\'ll be keeping Nintendo in business for some time.<br><br>Perhaps Nintendo would panic if suddenly Apple made a very kid-friendly device with a very broad audience and cheap-cheap-cheap.

The hardware is relatively inexpensive, and the Nintendo brand has a "Disney" status among mothers. They know its safe, and age appropriate. It isn\'t going anyware.<br><br>I\'m talking more about the 18-24-M-DI\'s and the casual market, where Apple can become extremely relevant. The hardcore market is pretty much saturated, so there\'s not to much to be done until the next hardware cycle. However even this group is likely to upgrade phones and devices in addition to their primary gaming device. If they have iPhones/Touches, it\'s one more places to sell games, and if they can compete on a quality level with what\'s on their DS, then Apple can start making inroads. It\'s a matter of Apple wooing the big names (Activision, Capcom, Konami), and time will see how serious they are in this area.<br><br>As for the casual market, though Nintendo has made the most progress, this area has only begun to be tapped and there is a ton of room for Apple to take it for itself. It\'s going to be a very close and heated race, and it\'s not just Nintendo and Apple, but EVERY mobile device out there vying for a piece.<br><br>So while I\'m not saying iPhone will crush the DS any time soon, it is going to force Nintendo to prove its relevance to people who already have so many devices capable of playing simple games, and even some of the more hardcore gamers in the long run. It\'s still early, but I think it will be interesting.</div>\

Post ten years old, they all want an iPod touch. <br>Parents might also think twice about the "cheaper" nintendo when they realize that most iPod Touch games are less than $1o and most DS games are over $20. That adds up pretty quickly with a few games.<br><br>Also, wait 6 months to a year before you decide that the iPhone/Touch games can\'t compete with the PSP games. Remember this platform is less than 4 months old!<br><br>Finally, it all boils down to numbers. Apple will take a big chunk of the mobile gaming market simply because it will sell a boat load of iPhones/touches. Whether or not the games are "hardcore", immersive or whatever is irrelevant, Apple will take a big chunk of mobile gaming sales from here on out.</div>\

This is mostly because the iphone just doesn\'t have the same capabilities, the graphics are about as good as the flash games you play online. The DS graphics are much better and the gameplay too, due to the fact it actually has a control pad as-ell as a touch screen. Maybe in the far future if Apple makes some big changes to its product. Even though by the time apple do update there software Nintendo and Sony will have most likely brought a product out thats much more powerful</div>\

The games I\'ve seen on the iPhone haven\'t had as good of graphics as some games that I play on my PSP. I don\'t know whether or not the graphics can be that good yet since I have yet to find many games with higher graphics than Super Monkey Ball on the iPhone. Though I have not played my PSP ever since the iPhone 2.0 software came out. As an overall developing platform, the iPhone of course beasts the PSP and DS (since they are not comparable in that sense). When comparing the three as web browsing devices, the iPhone takes the cake, then comes the PSP with it\'s difficult to control cursor... but the DS, unless I am mistaken, doesn\'t even have a web browser. Another great thing about the iPhone is the internal storage, you don\'t have to worry about losing your game cartridges or your UMDs, the games are just there ready to go and usually boot up faster than PSP or DS equivalent games.<br><br>Overall, I think that more people would play games on the iPhone than the other platforms, since there are not that many adults that would by a PSP instead of the latest phone. And since they are going to by the phone, the gaming capability is just an added bonus, and they will always have it to pass the time.</div>\

Personally I find Apple products overpriced for the spec\'s and fragile compared to "more primitive technology".  Yes, I actually prefer the "primitive technology" because I\'m not loaded, but with system mod\'s my DS can do pretty much everything the Ipod Touch can just at a lower res/quality for free or fairly cheap.  Movies, games, Apps, mp3 music(just buy nice headphones/earbuds) and I\'m not limited by a built in harddrive a few micro sd cards and I\'m set.<br><br>Also for year\'s people have claimed Apple product\'s are superior perhaps it is just the advertising.  IF you like working on stuff/hacking/tweaking running your own programs not just the stuff Apple sells do not buy an Apple product very little 3rd party mod\'s and things you can do.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-5115939" class="dsq-comment-message">While many tout the wonderful control scheme of the iPhone, it\'s great for casual games which don\'t require many buttons, but touch screens are limited if you\'re trying to create something that has a lot of options. Sure, the iPhone can have some awesome racing games that utilize its tilt system and some fun puzzle games that use the touch screen, but you\'re not going to find many games that use both very well. <br><br>The more control options you want, the more buttons you\'ll have to festoon the touch screen with, which either means they\'ll have to be tiny buttons (which will lead to lots of frustrated people) or you\'ll have a tiny space for the actual game images. Imagine trying to put games like God of War: Chains of Olympus onto the iPhone. They did a good job with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed but the simplicity of the touch screen controls made it disgustingly simple to beat. <br><br>For anyone who scoffs at the battery life being the \'only\' superior feature of the PSP or DS, that\'s a big issue for many of us. If I play anything demanding on my iPhone the battery is nearly dead before the end of my commute. That\'d never last me long enough for a long bus or plane ride, a wait in a doctors office or the like. <br><br>There\'s also one factor people aren\'t considering here: brand loyalty. I\'ve been a Nintendo customer all my life and although I don\'t like every game they put out, I\'ve always found something from them that satisfied me. As an avid gamer nothing on the iPhone has held my interest for very long, but I\'m still playing my PSP and DS every day on my way to and from work. The iPhone might conquer the world of cellphone gaming and even take some of the casual gamers away from the DS and PSP, but it\'s never going to be the dominant power unless it increases in size (allowing for a bigger touch screen) or adds buttons.</div>\

I knew Apple was planning a PR spin along these lines, so I asked my contacts about Apple\'s chances.  Both agreed that Apple can be a viable mobile gaming competitor, but not a portable gaming one.  One of the gentlemen said that he likes the iPhone as a gaming platform.  "I have close to 20 games I\'ve downloaded from the App Store," he said to me.<br>"Really?  How much money in total have you spent on those games," I asked.<br>He grinned and said, "Not a dime, they were all free Apps.  I\'m not sure I\'d pay for one."<br>There you go.</div>\
