ForumsSystem Wars › I really hope iOS becomes #1 in gaming.

System Wars is a one of a kind destination where gamers can discuss, rant, and debate about systems, platforms, handhelds and the games. Not many people survive System Wars. The mightiest system warriors back up their arguments with facts.

Rules are simple:
- Read the Terms of Use and System Wars Survival Guide.
- Must be Level 10 or higher to create topics.
- Keep your discussions around what belongs here: platforms, games, developers, publishers, and stats.
- Don't quote more than one image in your post.
- Do NOT post or bump extremely abusive discussions (adult material/illegal activities/illegal advertising/etc).

I really hope iOS becomes #1 in gaming.

    IOS will never be mainstream gaming. People want to play on large HDTV with friends and family. IOS games are good for when you're on the go and want to play something quickly. I have a few games on my IPad. many of the games are FREE too. I might play it once a week though.

    To be mainstream you only have to have sales which mobiles/portables have. Psp and ds outsold home consoles and I see people playing phone/tablet/laptop games just as often.

    I also disagree with people wanting to play on large hdtv's, when I haven't in years.

    Most of them are exactly the same and some even control better with the touchscreen. We are even seeing PC gamers brag about Sword and Swocery which originally came out for the iphone. You guys are either delusional or have such a hatred for a successful company that you can't see clearly.

    40% screen are covered by fingers, that alone makes iPhone control scheme complete sh!t. Not mention no tactile respond, hand blocking speaker etc.

    Apple is success at making PHONEs, not gaming device, goodness.

    Sure mobile gaming can provide good toilet gaming, but no way in hell it will be no. 1 in the future, games quality wise.

    I'm not a big fan of mobile gaming. But honestly, I'm a pcgamer, success of failure of iOS (or more broadly mobile gaming) has no real effect on my prefered gaming platform, so if there are people who enjoy playing on iOS devices then kudos to them.

    First the 3DS sold at a loss. Second it will not because their too much junk. One of the reasons console gaming died before the NES was due to most or almost all the games were junk. iOS gaming only would really hurt gaming as a whole.

    I just ordered a 32GB MicroSD card for my phone because I ran out of space for games on my 8GB card. I can't wait to get it. I do not have an iPhone though and do not want one. If I bought any Apple product, it would be either an iPod Touch or the new iPad. Phones=Android for me.

    Well good luck in your own little world you got there.

    "I'm troubled, and I haver never been troubled before, never in doubt.Now I am full of doubt. Doubt is a human thing. If I am becoming human, something's wrong, something's bad. And I've made it worse."

    Well good luck in your own little world you got there.
