This thing is going to obliterate the competition. It's all about the developers, and they will flock in droves to this platform. The iPhone is the single easiest game development platform out there. All of the big guys--Sony, Nintendo, Xbox--require you to buy tons of custom hardware just to develop for them, not to mention the cost of licensing and approval. The iPhone is hands down, without question, the cheapest development platform EVAR. The barrier to entry that keeps small indy developers out of the major console markets just don't exist for this thing. People are going to develop for this at an insane pace. While 90% will be drek, the remaining 10% will be genius. This platform is going to absolutely kick the tail of every other platform for one simple reason: volume. Nunyez haters get it.

Think I'll stick with wolfenstein. Classic gameplay and longevity beats good graphics any day. BACK ON TOPIC

One might respond 'but they will make the screens bigger'...but then it's no longer a phone/mp3player...there's that awkward gap between the purpose/functionality of the two. oh, and small screen is another limiting factor.

I think it will even surpass the ds and psp when the big publishing power houses like EA will start to take it serious enough and get some complex games on it. Also it has the advantage of the appstore where you can find a lot of original ideas that will never be developed for the psp and ds because of the strict rules Nintendo and Sony imposes on their devs. The iphone is more than viable as a gaming platform.
