Apple has made no secret of its intention to enter into the gaming market for its mobile devices, and so far it has been relying on the quantity of games it has available to compete against the Sony PSP and the Nintendo DS. In a new ad, Sony has decided to fire back.
Continuing its series of “Marcus Rivers” videos, Sony has basically conceded the fact that Apple has more games, but claims that they aren’t as good as the PSP’s games.
Perhaps a new battle between tech giants is about to begin…

two mobile devices on the go? No way. iPhone is the winner because of internet access over 3G.
Sony has nothing on the DS. It's going to be a race for second place between Apple and Sony.
Except for the quality of the games, another fact is that all the PSP games are available in countries like South Africa, but hardly any of the iPhone games are available in South Africa. I am an iPhone user, but for me it is most definitely not a gaming device as I have access to non of the good games. I read about it, but cannot get it.
u want any games in ur iphone?
too bad iPhone games blow donkey *%@!'s I can use my psp skype just fine lol and the psp wireless is pretty fast anyways, my DS wireless blows but it's still more fun than than any game i've played on my iPhone.
I don't like my hands getting i the way when I play on the iphone. So psp/ds wins for gaming.
