Clue... most of the world has jobs, families or other activities into which a few games fit, not the other way around. That said, welcome to reality.

“NEVER” is the word. So glad to find some people who are not brainwashed by steve jobs.

If they wanted all their games in one place, and were seriously wanting to have all their gaming in one place, they would have gotten a itouch. No monthly fees, plus all the same games/apps as the iphone. Sounds like the two kids points were totally destroyed by the fact their parents will be paying every month for them to play the same games. If they don't buy anything new, say, for a couple months, they are technically repaying for what they already own. Sounds stupid to me. Also, the iphone/itouch will never replace the psp/ds. The graphical quality is not quite up to par, and most companies would be throwing all their game creativity out the window to make smaller games. Their realizations of what those games should be will never be what they want on the iphone/itouch, so they will ALWAYS need a more powerful piece of hardware for that, thus, the psp and ds. Those who want short, more downgraded games will opt for the iphone hardware, and those who want more highly developed and engrosing games will opt for the psp and ds hardware. Just my realization and/or opinion... Yeah, the fact that the person whom wrote this article says that his nephews both, BOTH, got apple iphones is ludicrous.

But IMHO iPhone wasn't design to play. A videogame console is a system dedicated to this task, so it do it better. Good article. But IMHO iPhone wasn’t design to play.

I've been writing about iPhone games for a while, and though some of the games can be a little eyebrow-raising, others such as Real Racing and Zenonia really set the standards for interactive handheld gaming. The reasons you pointed out are simple, yet effective and I wholeheartedly agree. The iPhone/iPod touch are just more accessible, the fact that they eclipse the PSP and DS' functionality also doesn't hurt. Well written article.

What people don't realize is that for every iPhone that is sold, an iPod Touch is also sold. This means the iPhone + iPod Touch market is a HUGE market for game developers. The iPhone 3Gs already has more horsepower than a Nintendo DS. And it has more horsepower than the Nintendo Wii (surprise!). The next iPod Touch is expected to have just as much more more power. With all of the external 3rd party accessories, the huge amount of software they have, and their multi-tool capabilities, the iPhone 3Gs and the iPod Touch completely outstrip the Nintendo DS and PSP in usefulness. What teenager wants to carry multiple devices when they can carry it all in the iPhone or iPod Touch? The Nintendo DS and Sony PSP are going to be relegated to the closet or weill be sold. The writing is already on the wall. If you can’t afford the iPhone, then you can certainly afford the iPod Touch – which can run nearly every App that the iPhone can.

The dsi (new) can surf the internet and download apps just like an iphone along with the psp wich can also download apps.
