knowing apple this game pad will probably cost like 60$

VendettaRed07

60$? More like 600$...

They want 60$ for their POS ear buds for the iPod that break all the time. This things price tag will probably stop in the high 100 mark

I don't see how the distinction is relevant, however. If, for example, it had the exact same game library as the DS, but its name was "iPhone", people here would dismiss it still as "not a gaming system", regardless of its merits as a system that plays games.

Nokia N series support Ngage 2.0 games, does it make it a gaming console? It has OVI store for downloadable games. Same applies to Android Phones and WM phones.

Apple should make a real handheld with buttons, joysticks and a good battery life, they can't waste the appstore imo

The distinction is arbitrary. Just because a phone can play games does not mean it is not a gaming handheld. Sony is said to be developing a phone that can play play PSP games, for example.

In the case of the iPhone, there is even a non-phone version: the iPod Touch. You may want to dismiss the Touch as also not a gaming system. So the PSP, then, is not a portable media player? Then why is Sony bothering with these features at all, including a new media platform to compete with iTunes?

People here are making multi-functionality as something that somehow detracts from a system's merits as a gaming device. But that is the direction every device is headed in, including the so-called gaming systems.

His arguments are all dead ends but he keeps going at it calling us ''non-believers'', ''anti-progress'' or ''fanboys'', I say who's being the fanboy right now? I like the iPhone but this dude needs to stop because he's making me want to hate it. :?

it's too big to be real portable gaming system. you'd need a stand to hold it in place. and it's you're going to do that you might as well have a console that would be more powerful. I guess it's easier to take to a friend's place though.

Yes, because having to buy an add on to use a decent control scheme just makes it SO much better now. Still curious on the whole "clicks" thing. Do you use a hammer to hit the buttons on your DS or something?

Faulty logic, right there. You make the mistake of thinking that the iPhone's games are of the same quality as the PSP or DS's in that you seem to think their review scores are comparable. Do you think Tiger Woods on the PSP would be the same game as Tiger Woods on the iPhone? No, of course not. Your AAA iPhone games are AAA games by iPhone standards; that is, the standards of a small cellular phone, not a games console.

Oh so the PS is better than DS???? DS GAMEZ ARE ON LOWER STANDARDS this is bs as a 9 is a 9 you need to get over it

GS reviews matter here more than your opinion does Im sorry

Laughing Cat laughs at your failure.

But really, just go away. It's people like you that just make Steve Jobs look like a failure.

You really don't get it do you? The DS is a much better GAMING platform than the iPod. This can be proven by the amount of quality games & install base.

The iPod was never intended to go against the the DS. NEVER. It can play games but that does not mean it will be a direct competitor to Nintendo or Sony.

Nintendo is a gaming company. Sony is an electronics giant that has a (somewhat) succesfulgaming division. Apple is a computer manufacturer. They do not have a dedicated gaming division like Sony, Nintendo, or MSoft. They tried gaming but failed which is why they've never ventured to far into it.

You can say what you want but the DS kicks the iPod's rear when it comes to gaming. Which is something that is essential when it comes to being considered a GAMING platform.

You have yet to provide a legitimate arguement on why the iPod is worse than the DS. In all of your threads you've been getting owned left and right for what you say and it has never occured to you that you are wrong.

Only idiot "journalists" and fanboys like you claim that the iPod is a competetor to the DS and PSP. But ignorance really is bliss.
