i think its a bit ridiculous to have that chart. all games for the psp are, idk how to say it without people getting all hot and bothered, idk they're different than all the iphone games.



theres thousands of iphone games that are stupid and meaningless and just not worth anyones time. the psp has lots of good quality games. i guess im tryin to say psp has quality and iphone has quantity. but dont think i dont think the iphone doesnt still have good games!



i dont think i did a good job of putting my thoughts into words there
