too much hype (Score 1)

It's less hype that the title and summary makes it out to be. In reality most people who buy iphone games play it for a week or so and dismiss it. The next time they think about buying an iphone game they will learn from their previous experience and think about the money they wasted. The whole iphone thing is much like the internet boom. The technology is there, it's new, people are curious, but it's going to bust very soon and on a large scale, affecting all those who invested in the hope of a long term popularity. On the other hand, if they revive classic NES, SNES games etc or start making novel portable games that are somehow better than psp and ds games on a limited platform, and release them commercially, that would change things a little. But seeing how Sony and Nintendo have solid relations with the real game developers that make games that a lot of people actually like, the chances of iphone grabbing a large portion of the market is slim.
