Nintendo and Sony's Worst Nightmare

Well, we've all heard of the console wars. However, we can all start to formulate Nintendo and Sony's worst nightmare. It isn't Microsoft. In fact, it is Microsoft's worst nightmare in the computer world as well. No, it isn't homebrew or piracy (but they're quite a large foe as well), but rather Apple. When you honestly think about it, the Apple computers have almost no games on it (or the cheap little games that Apple calls games that appear on Windows and Linux as standard games). However, I'm not talking about Apple and its lack of games. I'm rather talking about Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch.

For starters, the iPhone/Touch are superior in multimedia such as video, photos, music, web, etc. Plus, they have an app store with over 100k apps. In addition, the iPhone has Internet access on AT&T's 3G network (of which I'm not a fan of). Even though the DSi and PSP can do these things, the iPhone/Touch does these things a lot better. However, the DSi and PSP have way better games, though. Most of the stuff on the iPhone/Touch is mainly basic games that look cheaper than what appears on the DSi Store.

Plus, the DS does way better at the touch screen than the iPhone/Touch, as demonstrated in Phantom Hourglass. The only touch screen win the iPhone/Touch has is that the touch screen is compatible with touching multiple spots at the same time. If you try this on the DS, it will think it is the edge of a massive stylus that is half the size of the screen. Of course, the DS and PSP also have D-pads as well, which enables the use of a more classic feeling that the iPhone/Touch cannot emulate. I'm actually not much a fan of using touch screens with fingers, especially with keyboards. I would rather prefer buttons or joysticks, something that a touch screen significantly lacks.
