Steve Jobs has been widely quoted as saying the iPod Touch and of course the iPhone is the “best portable device for games.” I would agree with him in some respects but his quote is mostly based on the fact that the phone is getting such incredible downloads. As a mobile gaming enthusiast, I have to acknowledge all the other platforms and it would be hard for me to say the iPhone is the best hands down. What I will say, is that the iPhone has done the industry a huge service by showing people that gaming on a phone can be fun.
The quote comes with the news that the App Store has passed 100 million downloads. This is great considering we are in a time in North America where consumers aren’t generally aware of mobile gaming and this news will really open some eyes.
When Jobs said: “Now you can make a pretty good argument that it is the best portable device for playing games on - and a whole new class of games,” he helped his argument by pointing to a few specific releases including Gameloft’s Real Soccer 2009, the recently released Spore Origins and upcoming Need for Speed Undercover by EA.
