(Digital Daily) - �Don�t let the haters tell you [the
iPhone] sucks compared to the [Nintendo] DS or the [Sony]
PSP. It doesn�t. It�s good. It�s clear that the quality of
iPhone games is eclipsing its console counterparts, and
that�s even more acute when you compare it against the
prior generation.�

the iPhone OS will soon create pricing and customer

Apple can't compete, games will never be as good without traditional
buttons. Some games are really good, but not nearly as good DS games.

And they can't compete on system price at all.

How surprising that an iphone game developer said that...

A bit pathetic that people are regurgitating it tho.
Now, if he said the iphone sucks for games, _that_ would be news...
