Whether they are trying to compete with Sony’s PSP and Nintendo DS, the iPhone will be one great gaming platform. When Apple previewed the iPhone SDK last Thurdsay, they previewed several games, including Super Monkey Ball, a popular title on the Wii. The writers at GamerTell would be able to tell best if this would happen, but I personally think this is the perfect platform. The iPhone is in many large markets, and has internet connectivity, so a game could upgraded a few months down the road.
The App Store combines Amazon and the iTunes Store together. Apple’s been testing gaming for awhile. They started with the Pipin, which failed miserably, then they build some mini games for the iPod. Next, they took those iPod games to the next level, making new ones available from the iTunes Store. Apple partnered EA to makes games like Sims Bowling, and Sims Pool, as well as Disney. With the iPhone, this isn’t any different, they’ve partnered with SEGA and EA, 2 companies that each have great titles behind them. The high-anticipated, “Spore”, will also be on the iPhone, which just shows what it can do and all the opportunities open to developers with the free SDK.
