The competition between iPhone, PSP and DS is hotting up - Apple used its iPod showcase event today to highlight its position in comparison to other handheld games platforms.
"When [DS and PSP] came out, they seemed so cool. But once you play a game on the iPod touch, you think 'hey, these things aren't so cool any more..." said Apple's marketing VP Phil Schiller.
"We're talking about 25, 30, 40 dollars a title. The kids can't afford those titles. Worse isn't the price, it's the buying experience."
A demo slide at the event compared the quantity of games on the platforms: PSP's 607 games, DS' 3,680 and then iPod touch's 21,178, before kicking into a video montage of App Store games.
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.

New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
LMAO you have to be kidding me, right?
Yes but these "bite sized" apple games are shovelware.
"PSP's 607 games, DS' 3,680 and then iPod touch's 21,178"
This only means you have to sift through pages of BS before finding anything worth buying. Have they ever played PSP games like Socom FTB2, God of War Chains of Olympus and Final Fantasy Crisis Core? Those are REAL, full games that justify the price tag.
Buying experiences like buying an iPhone and having to wait 2 days to use the phone side of it :P
21,000 is a high number but most of that isn't good or long lasting, just some cheap novel which allows you to show off your iphone to friends.
STFU Apple. Fix your exploding iPhones first.
And how many of those 21,178 games don't have retarded controls?
