Now, that’s a very bold statement. And it comes from none other than Apple themselves! During an interview with famed gadget website T3, Greg Joswiak, Apple’s iPhone and iPod product marketer has got this to say:
And the gameplay I think has surprised a lot of people, because it’s not just the casual games. There are real 3D games, and it’s hard to imagine we’re only a little over 100 days into it. There are already so many games and as we look at it, to us it really seems this is the future of gameplay. Whereas a lot of these devices [Nintendo DS and Sony PSP] are more in the past. And a big part of that is not just the device itself, which is easier to carry, and has the touch display and accelerometer which is great for gameplay, but it’s the electronic distribution of the apps as well.
Future of gameplay… Very well spoken indeed! And I couldn’t agree more. Apple has got everything right with the iTunes Store. Browsing, purchasing and downloading a new game is just a few moments away, be it an iPhone or iPod touch. In fact, updates can be pushed to the device almost seamlessly! I can see that the rest of the industry would start to model their businesses after Apple’s App Store. And they better do it, now! And fast!
