Apple Calls Out Sony and Nintendo

I sure wish you would have posted more about how you felt. Three letters doesn't do much for the thread, methinks.

Apple needs to worry about Apple. The lack of quality coming to i-gadgets from the iStore is readily seen by gamers in the know.

I guess iRobots/iPhonies will be happy about this...not that they are a faction in SW as of yet.

They should compare the quality of those titles.

I'm not saying that apple will destroy both the DS and the PSP but i can see the apple releasing a handheld and make a success

They should mention that only 10 of those 50,000 games are DS/PSP quality.

Apple has a point with Nintendo's DS, but not the PSP. The PSP is so much better then the DS they shouldn't even be used in the same comparision.

Well they already overtook PSP software sales.

Here's to hoping Nintendo can pull off a genius idea for their next handheld.

i agree

hmmmm if i were sony/nintendo I'd call them back out and be like hmmm

you may have seen apples graph of number of games on the iphone

but what they havent told you is.... would you rather be playing a game that has no depth and without buttons or games that have great graphics and story telling

Um there are games on the iPhone that have depth. Anjunaddict

I'm a bit dubious as to how well Apple would compete in a "real" games market. 50,000 games sold would be fantastic if they were $30. When they are between 1 and 5 dollars though it makes their numbers a bit misleading.

[QUOTE="Anjunaddict"][QUOTE="Parasomniac"] Care to name some?Ragnarok1051

Apple can talk when the mindless games on their smart phone are anywhere near as good as what Sony and Nintendo make. Until then, they can kindly shut up.

I think that this image shows exactly what's wrong with gaming on the iPhone.

[QUOTE="Anjunaddict"] Well from what I own and what Im considering, GTA: Chinatown Wars, Broken Sword, Final Fantasy, Rayman 2, Call of Duty: Nazi Zombies, Zenonia, Red Alert 3 ....Anjunaddict

PSP107

Did Apple try to mock Nintendo and Sony by saying they have more number of games? When most of Apple's games are no different from flash games? :|

Though I can see why they are doing this. The casual people who have no idea about gaming will eat this up.

EDIT : And regarding their numbers :- Lies, damned lies, statistics.

Its quality ,not quantity that matters. For gaming I would take a PSP or a DS over anything Apple makes.

[QUOTE="Anjunaddict"][QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"] How many of those can't be found on a less expensive handheld?

DarthaPerkinjan

that a great opinion sir but i dont think the psp is better then the ds...at all

A Face palm of the HIGHEST ORDER is needed!

If Apple wants to get serious in the Gaming Industry then they will need to make a Device that is BUILT FOR GAMING!

i feel sorry for apple. steve jobs especially. the last time they acted this arrogant, jobs quit (rather than getting fired), then CEO Sculley ran the company to the ground, and apple almost filed for bankruptcy (then got a bailout from MS). if history repeats itself, i'm going to laugh my ass off.

And that US, revenue marketshare in mobile games outside US is far smaller for Apple

iphone gamers enjoy bejewled psp gamers enjoy socom. they don't compare. yes iphone sells more but what would you rather play?

meh apple your tooo late given the fact that ds has combined to sell over 120 million and is ready for the next big step which is 3d gamign that puts ipad right in the obsolete section ----

cause all it is is a first gen ds with flashy graphics -which 3ds will have better , , can we say gc visuals and looking at re4 gc we know what to expect as aposed to a watered down version of re4

and its priced to sell mean while the ipad=499,99 plus tax whos gonna pay big bucks just to play 5-3 yr old ports

sorry it may have worked for a 199,99 psp but it wont work for a 500 handheld that your forced to use a touch screen for just about everythign ,

where as on ds its practically up to the developer whether or not you use it most ds games us the 2nd screen for maps etc

zelda and cod are the only games i my self own that force you to use the screen

For some reason everyone who never owned a Nintendo console all started playing these total crap games on their iTouch all the time! If only they tried the DS...

[QUOTE="Greyfeld"]The thing is, cell phones are steadily becoming handheld computers, and the games built for these devices are along the same lines as games developed for the PC. 1% quality titles, and 99% shovelware and flash games. 23 reskins of Bejeweled doesn't actually count toward the "quality gaming" list.nintendo-4life

80% of numbers on the internet are made up on the spot.

So... .01% quality titles?
