There's just not enough room for three handheld gaming systems. The new Apple handheld is the iPhone, they are now making it a handheld gaming system... Here are some reasons why I think it SUCKS. First of all... The graphics won't be up to par with PSP and probably not to the DS. Second of all... It has no face buttons. I don't care if it has touch screen, it's only touch screen and that sucks... Third of all... They have no format for games, they have to go on internal memory. So the games have to be small(so you can fit more onto it) and if not, you can't fit many onto it. You can only fit so many games onto a memory card/hard drive and it's ultimate fail to not have a cartridge or mini disc(like PSP). The games won't be full fledged with the quality of that in which Sony/Nintendo have. Edited by Neo Metallix, Jul 31 2008, 09:23 PM.

Are you perhaps saying that the DS also sucks for also having a touch screen? But I agree. I certainly don't want Apple to go join the Handheld race or anything.

Read what he said properly... it doesn't suck for having one, it sucks for ONLY using a touch screen for games. Apple already have a handheld gaming machine. It's called the iPhone, my friend's got one and it's hacked to pieces playing Mario with nothing but a touch screen is fail...

Huh? What's that post above me say? Posts: 749 Group: Former Monarchs Member #9,139 Joined: July 7, 2008	Oi. Don't they have enough money as it is? They're already covered with all the iPods, iPhones, and the Mac's they sell, the last thing we need is them in the gaming industry with the iPhone. << Their Mac's can barely handle some games that I want to play, what makes them think they'll do so well with the iPhone? I hope they fail. x3
	If someone asks me if I'm enjoying life, unless it's something really unforgivable, I can't help but answer that I am. No matter how much despair there is, I'm satisfied with just living...Just being allowed to be here really is a wonderful thing. -Shiki Tohno È̡͚̱̯̝̲̖̯̟̃̓̋̔ͨ̆͡r̠̤̬̦̞͇̔̇ͬ͛̽͊̀ͅȩ̼̳͓̬͍̙̜̖̋̿ͅķ̫̠̲ͫi̶̥͔̼̙̣̾̅̏ͧ̐ͨ̎̚͠ 하루 하루 - Ereki's Daily Blog~

People who buy expensive iPhones aren't looking to buy it for games. iPhone is good for a phone/PDA, but not really games. And that is correct MOD, it sucks for not having face buttons, like the DS does.
