Mobile phones are bringing some rapid changes to the gaming industry, there has even been some controversy over which company (Apple, Nintendo and Sony) would bring the best games. Apple has even stated that the iPhone app store has more games than either Sony or Nintendo. Mashable.com conducted a vote that nearly 2000 people participated in, and concluded that more people voted for the iPhone. The iPhone secured 704 votes, Sony’s PSP got 639 voters, and the Nintendo DS received 482 voters.
Gaming for have come a long way since the days of corny cell phone games like Snake and Pacman. I think the only reason why iPhone games are more popular than the regular hand held’s because the iPhone has its own touch screen graphical interface. Also during game play you’re able to turn the phone, and use it as a directional button. This could be a new marketing scheme by Apple because, now their bringing the iPhone into everything. Now that Apple’s gradually taking over the gaming industry, it makes you wonder what will happen next.
