I don't think anyone here came out and even hinted as such. Besides, the 3DS came out in February and the Vita just two weeks ago. Why wouldn't there be more quality titles on iOS? It has been out longer.Love how everyone thinks iOS is just Words with Friends and Angry Birds. Their's more good titles on iOS than 3DS and Vita combined.

So, after being proven wrong by the 3DS, everyone who predicted the doom of all handhelds is just moving on to the Vita. Expected. I look forward to the goalposts moving once again after the Vita is successful.
Does playing iOS games on flash websites count as pirating? Serious question! Cause it's free and stuff!
No way! More good titles than two NEW handhelds!?!?!?
Your generalization is admirable since no one said there's only two good games, but they're different types of games than the ones you find on handhelds. Like it was said above, they both have their strengths and weaknesses but appeal to different gamers.
Next you'll tell us how iOS has more good games than the PS4 and Xbox 3 combined as soon as their launch titles are announced...
Exactly. Why are they choosing to ignore 3ds's new found success. Even in the U.S, November was a moderate success for 3ds and I expect December should be much bigger. Obviously, ignoring 3ds and focusing on Vita's problems helps them further their "handhelds are doomed" narrative.
Well my statement will still be true by the end of 2012. iOS gaming is just now getting going and their is already so many gem titles and for half the cost of other handheld games.
What is this $1 shovelware app you are referring to?

So handhelds that have longer development times won't have as many good games as iOS where it's already been established and doesn't take nearly as long to develop for unless it's a bigger game like Infinity Blade 2? Who knew!?! It's still an insanely obvious statement since no one expects differently, but I guess quality is subjective anyway.
I still don't get why two markets can't exist. I don't exactly expect to play decent shooters with touchscreen controls. Do I play games on my phone? Yes...Will they replace my love for full games with good controls? Hell no.
Why can't they both exist and why must people take sides like there's something to gain? Two markets that do intersect, but is still largely different.
Maybe I win because I can do both and have fun without having some bullshit loyalty to one side and proclaim the other dead before it's even fucking out.
God, why can't iOS and traditional handhelds co-exist. I don't want all handheld gaming to be confined to smart phones. Those things have some major limitations to me (as do traditional handhelds).
And yea, stupid cnet, haha. I haven't even thought of that site in years. Guess this thread has given them mindshare. Their plan is working!
haha, thizzzz iz zooo goood, zooo goooood.
WTF is this shit man, I mean, seriously what's wrong with them?!
Molly Wood, Tech Interests:
ah, what?!
These "journalists" have to do something to earn their latest freebie iGadget and invite to the next Apple love-in.
i always find it amusing how we get these terrible yet predictable doom and gloom articles yet we get the same people getting offended and attacking iOS gaming.
cut it out guys, iOS gaming is fun and stuff.
Because the iOS crowd seems to have some hatred for handhelds and wants them to die. No clue why. But until the damn thing has buttons I can't see it as a real game device. Slide controlls only feels so mini game like and only a few things can pull it off properly to where it doesn't feel like it. and no having my thumbs all over the screen to use "virtual buttons" is not a good fucking way to make games control. I don't slap my hands across my pc screen to play games. I hate the entire idea of blocking the screen to use it as a control input.
I hope they find success, but for now it looks like it's going to be another PSP, which isn't good enough for me. I'm going to need to see interest from consumers other than videogame message board posters and Gamestop employees, and it just doesn't seem to be there.
That said, of course there are some awesome iOS games.
I wish Sony would get smart, retool their PSPMini program or something, and create a different cost/value environment besides the big retail releases, so some of the cheaper iOS can be ported over, or peopel can create some original, smaller scale stuff, where they have access to both a touch screen and buttons/d-pads. Some cool stuff could come of that.

judged using scientific testing methods of accuracy, my results show me that ios gamer are mostly people are really stupid or have really bad taste in games and they're ugly and fat and have no girlfriends and they're hipsters.
oppositely, people who play 3ds and vita are super handsome and strong and they cure cancer using their hearts and t hey're super smart and get lots of girls and they're really tall and got big penises.
So what you are saying is GAF is a super race of men & we are destined to rule the world?

Are you an investor?
Serious question. If you are, it puts that statement into perspective. If not, I'd really like to know why a success on the level of the PSP (that is, 'not the market leader, but decently supported, with a solid library and a fair number of quality titles') wouldn't be 'good enough for you'. I hope you're not trying to play the 'PSP has no games' card here.
remember that saying 'what comes up must come down'? well apple are super successful at the moment but they're going to crash seeing as most users are swapping to windows 8/windows mobile and xbox.Apple has another 10-15 before there done I bet too tho no company last forever and apple will not.
I just got a preorder cancellation email from Amazon. Seems like this is coming true.
