Apple iPhone to kill the DS (Ha!) This gave me a good chuckle. Forbes posted an article on how it is possible for the iPhone to kill Nintendos DS. Reason? Because the iPhone combines the touch screen of the DS, and the motion controls from the Wii. However, it also costs a whopping $400, about the total price of both the DS and the Wii. Not only that, but Gizmo thinks it is pretty hilarous too: The DS version of Spore is already a very different, much smaller game than the truly galactic full-scale universe youre getting on the Mac and PC. Its like Spore Lite. And the iPhone version is even simpler than thatits basically just the spore stage of Spore, totally top-down and 2D, extremely simple. In a way, its just a glorified version of the cellphone games that people whod pick up a DS or real portable gaming system would totally ignore. Theres no crossover or competing audience with the DS versionits basically just a distraction, and thats what most games on the iPhone will be. I think Ill just save my $400 bucks and pick up the PC version. But I might look at the DS and Wii version later on down the road.
