Apps for train times and fart machines are one thing, but I share your view about the race to the bottom on the iPhone App Store being a bad thing for gaming.

I think publishers rushing to iPhone may be a bit short sighted. I, for example, am no longer interested in supporting a lot of 3rd party apps on Wii, DS, and even PS3 if they look like something that would be ported to the iPhone. The reason being that they will be sold there for a fraction of what they will cost on the other platforms. Now I make sure to spend my money only on games that are very much worthy. Mostly Nintendo first party and a few good publishers from Japan. Lower costs may move more units, but it will be interesting to see what happens to these publishers over time as they embrace this.

In part, I agree. I won’t sit for hours playing my iPhone, but then again I only tend to pack my DS or PSP when I have a long train ride or a flight to take – they’re rarely with me for those 10-minute gaming sessions. That’s where the iPhone comes into its own. It gives gamers a quick hit of entertainment, and since it can download new titles over 3G, there’s no chance of you having nothing new to try. If I’m honest, I probably play for longer on my iPhone than either of my other portables, simply because it’s with me all the time.

Not sure what planet these experts live on, but all the iPhone games I have seen suck balls badly compared to even DS games, let alone PSP games.

What’s interesting, is there seems to be an analyist for every occasion, all with different thoughts, so the media can cherry pick the analyist that says what suits their agenda. I mean who on earth has ever hear of David Coles?
