If you're concerned about keeping the focus on gaming, why limit yourself to only the models with cellular radios? If the 3G S is 4x as fast as the 3G, how much faster is it than the iPod 2g? 2x? 1.5x? Why are there no 3G S comparisons being made against the previous top-of-the-heap performer, the iPod touch 2g?

I think this should be happening pretty soon. 1M units was much more than I was expecting. I was expecting something around 300k. I wonder what the sales charts of the original 3G compare now that its price has gone down to $99. Just a thought - Perhaps there will be a second era of hardware unification when the iPhone is finally supported by Verizon/etc. At that point, all new iDevices will be ES 2.0 capable which should be enough to flood the 40M existing 1.1 devices.

However, the PSP has much more big-budget developers supporting it. These big-budget games are needed to utilize the hardware of the 3G S to its fullest. However, the iPhone is catching up really quick. Gameloft/Glu/EA/ngmoco will definitely be making games which blow the PSP away in the near future. Hopefully I will too, but it's going to be a challenge for me to do it alone. The hardware of the iPhone 3G S is no doubt more powerful than the PSP.
