If your looking at these handhelds and asking "which is more POWERFULL" then yes, the iphone has a significantly faster processor (around 500 or 600 mhz down-clocked to 430 something) and a very enhanced graphics capabilities. The only wiggle room for argument would be the graphical capabilities between the psp and iphone. But as far as a gaming device, no matter how powerful the iphone is, it will never be able to over come the physical capabilities in the sense that it has actually buttons, triggers, and the most important of all an analogue stick. while the iphone may arguable the most powerful mainstream portable device in common markets it really cant compete in the gaming aspect as far as true gaming device simply by design. and who knows, maybe apple whill have a huge launch of or a 3rd party developer will create a peripheral add on that encloses the iphone giving it 2 triggers buttons and the whole bit (making it look oddly like psp in shape AND size) which will give it controls like any other device. ( a controller dock if you will) Now that would make a serious threat to the market if it was marketed as a multimedia device separate from a phone service (i will never have simply because i will never use a supported carrier). So all in all theres a couple ways to look at this. in the sense of power, in which some of his statements hold reason and truth, in the sense of real world application, in which the application of a control-less platform is just not practical for large scale gaming, and in the sense of market, in which the device not marketed as a general product but as a contractual service based device would not have the number of units nor a large enough market necessary for developers to adopt and really focus on as main platform of sales and revenue especially in this case as there is no physical marketable input for it (aka umd, cartridge. although downloadable content is on the rise for sales, its still far too early to have strictly download based sales especially for a device with non expandable memory. There would be no way to keep a real library or large selection of games on hand which is key for a portable device). soo... ipod threat to gaming market..... highly highly HIGHLY unlikely...

anybody is going to read that.



Seriously dude, break up your posts into smaller bites.

sorry... just got on a roll and couldnt stop... happens to me from time to time! but if your reading this go ahead and read it. makes some good sense.

Apple and it's user base never seem to have a problem with arrogance, and they *always* seem to know the most about computers.

but anyone really willing to hear opinions on this subject will be willing to read it... hell il be honest usually i hate things this long...but i hear ya on this and IMHO you made it worth reading...



Also i support your opinion, i dont think the iPhone will go to the top...



Also take this into fact, i just did some math on the psp section of this site, in the homebrew game section alone there are over 2000 games... and considering that most of the iPhone games are just homebrew games... The psp does have quantity over them in HOMEBREW ALONE, AND THATS ONLY ON THIS SITE...so just a thought for some of you people who think the iPhone is going to rule the gaming district...please take a look for yourself at...



1. quality of their games

2. buttons...nearly every game has something like a button in it

3. media of the games

4. size of the games

5. screen size...you have to see the games too...



so...yeah, i dont think that iPhone is anywhere close to over-achieving the psp... or even the ds in that case...but imo not the psp...

I meant "iPhone up Greg Joswiaks #¤%@".

He's got his head up his ass, out his mouth, and up his ass again.



The iPhone seems superior to the DS in every way, but its not a match for the PSP. Unless you like playing *****ty 2D games where you drag around objects with your finger.

First of all, I love my PSP to death!! LOVE IT!



BUTTTTT... Haven't any of yous heard of iControl Pad?????????



I mean f*ck! if your gonna crap on about 'aww, ***** *****, no controls.. *****, whine..'



Just go here: http://www.icontrolpad.com/



And all I have left to say is, do your homework first and watch out..

I'll wait until there are two analog sticks ... and some triggers for either index finger. If they did that the iTouch would rock. ROCK! I don't understand why some folks take a good idea half way there. This iControlPad is a great idea ... just a little short. It should also be molded to my hands. I don't care about bulk. I want a personal game device that I can play for hours. So what if it had the foot print of a SLR and needed it's own camera bag. I'd buy the rhinestone studded bag for it and practice all sorts of iTouch gang signs. IMO and note that I leave out the H, the psp falls short for the same reasons. There have been some mediocre attempts to fix this in homebrew and third party products ... I mean ... Why doesn't the PSP look like a PS3 game controller with a kick ass screen in the center ... Screen could be detachable ... for folks who want to just watch movies ... and in that mode it would sport it's touch screen. F*+^ I'd pay as much or more then a console for something like that. And honestly ... the other problem w/ the PSP is the fact that Sony will let people release crap games for it. A remake is one thing ... but a crap 8 bit port should not be allowed. They should look at ***** games like that and think one thing ... this will kill our branding. Kill it.

as it is now the iPhone will never be more than a gimmicky gaming system for a quick burst of games while on your lunch break or takin a dump. (i know i'm not the only to do that lol)



it cannot compete with a dedicated gaming system such as the psp and ds not only in quality of games but also in form factor. touch screen alone is not enough.

I'll believe that the iPhone is better than the PSP as soon as it is CHEAPER than the PSP, lol...
