Is the iPhone a Legit Gaming Handheld?

Earlier this month Apple celebrated its year anniversary of the "App Store" and what a year it had been. More than fifty thousand apps. had released in that time, and to the surprise of some, the majority of those were games.

Since then, many have questioned whether or not the iPhone is a gaming handheld. The answer can be fuzzy, and isn't as simple as a yes or no.

if it can play games and has a slew of them, why not?

No buttons = no fighting games. Iphone is a smartphone and nothing else IMO.

Of course it is - & so is the ipod touch. They are also good to lure Chickens with.

ive never heard of people buying it for gaming and spending all day tryin to finish games....for me its just for fun if i have 5-10 minutes to waste

Hmm, I have no iPhone, (I would LOVE one) but it seems that iPhone handles games and apps perfectly, one could say, in theory, it could be whatever the Amiga was listed under.

Depends on who you are speaking with. Some people would immediately put their iPhones/iPods on the same level as the DS or PSP. Some would say that it's a silly platform that can only play mini games. Regardless if it's a gaming handheld, Apple is getting a crap load of money. So in a way, it's a handheld but it still lacks the depth that most handheld games have except in the case of a few games (Zenonia for example).

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
