Is the iPhone a threat to Sony and Nintendo?
on 12-01-2009

The iPhone is already known for its impressive ability to handle graphics and gameplay for a range of games, including Armageddon Squadron, and Brothers in Arms - Hour of Heroes. With its intuitive high resolution touchscreen interface and faster 3G connection speeds, the iPhone naturally provides an interesting platform for running games. Rumours at Mac World Expo 2009 suggest the iPhone could become a serious competitor for the Sony PSP, Nintendo Wii, and other portable game devices.

 

The iPhone already features processing power that is comparable to Sony's PSP, allowing it to handle a range of games quite comfortably. However, according to ITProPortal, recent rumours at Mac World 2009 suggest that the next generation of iPhones could feature four-core CPU.

 

Although Apple hasn't officially confimed discussions surrounding the iPhone's 3.0 firmware, rumours of multi-core CPU for the iPhone have also been circulating on other websites for some time. If they turn out to be true, this would make the iPhone a very powerful competitor for most other portable game devices by helping  significantly accelerate the device's processing capabilities.

 

Of course, this would also help consolidate the iPhone's role as a multi-use platform, offering the features of a game device, telephone, PC, video and camera all in one. If these rumours are anything to go by, it seems this trend is set to continue.

- MacRumors: New Multi-Core iPhone with Firmware 3.0?

- Tech Radar: Multi-core processor set for next iPhone

 

What do you think? Would a faster processing ability make the iPhone a good portable gaming platform, or will you still prefer to use dedicated devices like Sony's PSP or Nintendo Wii? After all, does the touchscreen also have its own limits when it comes to certain games?

:grin  
Loading the iphone with more power sounds great, but what about battery power? I don't see the iPhone allowing you to do much until they've addressed this issue.
