Apple iPhone is taking on the Sony PSP in Gaming

Posted on Dec 22, 2008 04:41:32 PM

Since the beginning of portable gaming, countless handheld gaming consoles have been introduced to the market. Currently, the most popular ones are obviously the Nintendo DS, DS Lite and the Sony Play Station Portable, popularly known as PSP. But now Apple is also putting emphasis on its products as a gaming platform and is looking to grab a chunk of the mobile gaming market for itself.

Apart form the PSP there are two other mobile devices named Apple iPhone and Apple iPod which offers spectacular gaming experience. It’s hard to compare them with each other. Often it leaves the new gamers confused when they move out to purchase a portable gaming console for themselves. So, what to do? How to choose the best one? Well, it all depends on the individual’s needs ad preferences. Both the PSP’s and Apple iPhone’s displays render high quality video and graphics and these devices are compatible with Wi-Fi connections. You can choose any one of them to listen to good quality music and store lots of multimedia data. The only differentiating features are the other functions which these two devices can perform, the controls, the cost and the game database.

Coming to the functionality of these two products one thing is clear that if you want to make and receive calls apart from gaming then the iPhone is for you. Control wise the PSP is better as it is especially designed for gaming purpose and offers a D-pad and standard four buttons. You can also add a conventional joystick to PSP but this option is not available for iPhone. If you want to play touch screen games both in landscape and portrait mode then go for iPhone. Both the iPhone’s and PSP games are of equivalent cost but overall the iPhone is very costly device. Further, your monthly bill is increased because of the call plan you receive with the iPhone but in case of PSP you end up playing high quality games at a much low cost. The games available for the iPhone are less as of now and the PSP has got large database containing lots of game titles of every genre.
