Legal Woes Aside, iPhone To Rumble With PSP and DS

[Emeriastone]

I think the Iphone is a cool new thing, but I don't believe it to be in the same category as the ds or psp. I mean for one thing, it's a phone don't forget that, and the interface really isn't made for playing video games. And also for 500 - 600 USD, I don't think a lot of young people are going to be playing video games on it. If those kids had that much free spending budget, they'd probably go out and buy either a Wii, 360 or PS3.

Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited about the iphone. This holds a lot of interesting new possibilities for homebrew I think, if the thing supports 3rd party dev.

All in all, to group them into the same category isn't fair to anyone.

Only people who make retarded posts like John Vattic are idiots who simply can't make many valid points in arguments.

Anyway, the iPhone looks pretty nice, considering that most of the hardware is from Intel themselves. That and it's possibly the first phone to utilize OpenGL entirely, but I could be wrong there.

But people are right about one thing, more likely than not, it will not be a heavy gaming machine compared to the DS or PSP.

How would something meant specifically for media be a threat to the Nintendo DS and PSP?

Apple=Emo

i have a DS and a PSP and i'm continually impressed with the psp's power. I never even thought about getting an emopod. DS is about as emo as i'll get.

Only people who buy apple products are idiots who are simply impressed with the aesthetics of their electronics. The same people are deathly afraid of dos commands, hug trees, and sniff their pets butts for unusual odors.

Nothing says dork like weezer glasses, a new volkswagen beetle, and an imac.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Finally, someone with sense.

In all fairness to Apple, though, the new intel based macs are pretty nice, considering the top model "almost" kept up with a comparable priced windoze pc in several benchmarking tests. Still, I'll never own one, I know how to use dos, and I enjoy cutting down trees.

And the ONLY VW Beetle as far as I am concerned is the original.

You, sir, are Emo.

That is a really annoying and overused term. Lets stick to making fun of crappy music with that term.

huh, iphone will make some of the DS Users lose focus, but not all, the iphone will struggle as much as the psp did and the ps3 is now.
