Hence my idea that Sony and Apple merge. Imagine the power of Apple applications and the power of iTunes/iPod being directly tied to the Playstation brand? Wow.

I do feel, however, that Sony is in trouble unless they get the next version of the PSP just right. Apple is now setting the bar for mobile gaming and while it probably won't bother the DS market Apple could, at the very least, make Sony look bad (then again, they've done that by themselves enough).

Trash for gaming in all forms? Definitely an overexaggeration.

The accelerometer gives driving games a vast edge over traditional controls. Not only in terms of fun but also control, at least for me.

Ah sorry, I missed the "bar specialized games" in the original comment. But yah, I agree with you that playing games on the iPhone doesn't really endow the same experience as playing on a DS or PSP (aka primarily gaming systems).

@linkthe2nd: I could say the same exact thing about traditional controls.

Example: "Most of the games have the exact same mechanics. They're all just tilt control stick to turn while your vehicle goes at a constant speed, press button to shoot, etc. It's fun for all of 5 minutes."
