iPod Touch: "Best handheld games console" says Apple.

iPod Touch: "Best handheld games console" says Apple.

The DS has been out for quite a while now, and as it's older brothers before it, it has completely dominated the hand held gaming market. However, Apple don't see things this way with their iPod Touch in the handheld gaming market now. In fact, an Apple representative has gone as far as to call the iPod Touch the best platform for handheld games out there.

Quote:
"Now you can make a pretty good argument that iPod Touch is the best portable device for playing games on - and a whole new class of games."
Is this Apple showing ignorance? Last time I checked, the DS was still outselling the iPod Touch by a large margin. When you also consider that an iPod Touch's most attractive feature is not it's games...... yeah it's ignorance.

Of course he's gonna say this. He is trying to promote it. Is he actually going to say it's NOT as good as the others? Great marketing, that.

wow, apple is as dillusional as ever...
so they are trying to enter the game industry with a product thats not designed for real gaming? and they claim its a better handheld than the DS....

its like saying a cell phone is better than a computer because it can do email too...
sure computers have a hard time being hand held, and you have to do some stuff to make phone calls with it... but i dont see a very large screen, keyboard, mouse, quality games, capacity, or disk drives on a phone

Now Apple's trying to get into video games? Either that's really bold, or it's really stupid.

Re: iPod Touch: "Best handheld games console" says Apple.

One of my big complaints with Sony and Microsoft during the PS2/XBox/Gamecube era was that these consoles can do all this amazing stuff, but when you're buying a console, what does it come down to, the games. That they make their systems to do all this amazing stuff, but then have (in my opinion at the time, I've changed since) horrible games for their system. The Gamecube can't do much, but it had great games.

The same thing is true with iPod Touch, it can do a lot of great things, but what games are on it. Call me when they put Super Mario Bros. on iPod Touch. Course, why all of a sudden do I get visions of the AVGN and The Power Glove?
