Apple: DS is the past of gaming devices
February 3rd, 2009 Posted in DS, News, Posted by ValayWith the sales of the DS/DSi, one might think that the portable is here to stay for quite awhile. However, Apple’s Greg Joswiak has a completely opposite opinion. Joswiak commented on the DS, noting analysts have told him that “the DS is the past of gaming devices and that the iPod Touch is the future of gaming devices.”
“Well, it’s not just the screen quality – it’s the graphics capability, the compute power, the App distribution model. I had an analyst tell me in September – and he was so right – that the DS is the past of gaming devices, and that the iPod Touch is the future of gaming devices. It certainly has our competitors scrambling in what they’re going to do in reaction to this. I think it’s a tremendous start that we’re having at entering this gaming market, and there’s no doubt that that’s happening – it just is.”

Yeah, clearly Apple, one of the biggest companies there is, knows nothing about the rampant success of Nintendo.
As much as I love the DS, in a way they’re right. The graphics and quality of the iPhone/iPod touch, not to mention the processing power, really do kinda shove the DS aside. As far as quality games go, though, Apple’s not even in the same league.
However, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’ll eat my shoes if Apple doesn’t have a console ready for the next gen.
