Well Doom Resurrection looks like a Dreamcast game really and that's made for all the iPhones to work so it should be interesting to see what they do with any 3GS only games.

Spoony the specs for iPhone are higher but you have to account for the OS usage and what-not I suppose.

Ok people are going a bit overboard now. First it was PSP quality and now full console? Seriously, guys, quit gives 'blow jobs' to Steve Jobs. The iPhone is definitely stepping its game up against handhelds, but consoles? um... no.

Maybe he meant this console.

This story makes me wish I've been a member for 30 days already... trash headline. I can't wait to see how they implement all those shaders in the latest 2d tower defense app! Give me a break Apple. Push it as a gaming device all you want, but don't misconstrue limited shader support as equivalency for the capabilities of home consoles. I understand that in terms of pure processing power, the iPhone can compete with the PSP, but how many poly's can it push? And I know that poly-count isn't the be-all-end-all (not since the late 90's anyway), but they are making the implication, not me.

Haha no it doesn't. It does 1/3 of that what the PSP can do, it certainly doesn't come close to this gens console quality. It might track the Wii though but that isn't a real gameconsole anymore.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Full console.... right. Stop drinking the cool-aid before its to late.

Square-Enix would do well to release Final Fantasies on the iPhone with more polished graphics and a touch interface.

iPhone will never be adopted as a mainstream game platform simply because the way it's layed out doesn't work well for gaming. Yes, there are some gems here and there, but more complex games can't operate with just one button and a touchscreen.

full console of what? PSone?

No matter what people think of it as a gaming handheld if the games are selling as much as psp and ds games and making developers the same money, which I expect they are then developers will choose the app store due to the cheap dev costs and huge Market.

There not going to be the best hand-held gaming platform once the ZuneHD comes out. Not because it's a Zune, but because it uses Nvidia's TEGRA platform. Which has a TON more processing power than the iPhone. It's capable of running Windows 7 and pretty good graphics. While at the same time being incredibly efficient, being able to listen to music constantly for weeks, or watch full 1080p video for hours. It's quite awesome.

*Not a Zune fan at all, just a TEGRA fan.*
