It's funny really three years ago Apple company showed the world the iPhone and they obviously had full focus on the birth of the App Shop a year later following the announcement of the iPhone with all the patents they sent applications for at the time but I don't think Apple predicted the biggest section of the App Store to be gaming. Apple's Mac has always had an image given to it by the public of it not being able to play games. Which in reality is completely untrue, it may not be that Macs can not game it's that a lot of game developers don't provide their titles to the Mac platform. The Mac has always had games released on it, I mean just look at the exclusives made for it back in the 90's and from the last 10 years we saw the most games ever on the Mac. Just this month Steam has been released meaning gaming on a Mac is pretty much identical in game choice as the PC and the Mac will even have the in the cloud gaming service OnLive launching in August. The Mac in a great deal of ways has brought gaming to where it is today, in the 90's Macs were utilized a lot in game development but has altered in the last several years towards making your game in Microsoft's DirectX and that means you have to use a PC to develop your game. The really true high end 3D is still dominated by Macs and game development isn't looked upon being a high end 3D marketplace.
In the portable gaming arena for years was only one player and that was Nintendo, many companies gave handheld gaming a go but Nintendo always came out on top. Recently Sony have offered Nintendo the biggest run for their money with the PSP throughout the world sales being 57 million units and the DS selling 127 million units.
You will discover additional iPhones and iPod Touch's out in the world than PSP's and it clearly indicates that the iPhone and iPod Touch can sell much faster than the DS so this time next year Apple should have surpassed the DS in hardware sales.
Its not really about hardware sales its all about the games sales and the iPhone and iPod Touch made more revenue than the PSP last year. The DS had a 5% drop in income from 2008-2009. Apple are the only company having progress in revenue from the handheld game market.
Anyone can develop for the App Store while on the PSP and DS it's not the same case. The majority of App Store game developers are small non giant corporations.
