Photographers say, "the best camera is the one that is with you." The same can be said about your mobile-gaming platform of choice , like Apple's iOS on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
Apple's tablet and smartphone devices continue to sweep the nation, making the company the biggest in the world since last year. Nintendo is also run by some very gifted folks, and the company works with some of the most gifted personalities on the planet. You'd assume the gaming giant would see the advantages of combining its powers with Apple, but Nintendo's president latterly stated that his company will never develop games or applications for the iOS platform. It isn't even something the Japanese company would consider. Now, as the Nintendo 3DS can not catch up to the success of contemporary mobile and non-mobile consoles, the iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone have become household names.
In reality more folks now game on iOS devices than mobile consoles, making iOS the mobile platform to beat. That is true even though Apple's devices are not the best hardware for gaming, but these devices are the simplest and most handy to access. Like the famous phrase suggests, the best tool is the one that's with you; after all, better tools are useless if you don't have access to them when you need them.
When you combine that success with the high-quality games and companies that sell in the iTunes App Store, you have all of the ingredients you'd need for the "next Nintendo".
Now, I know what you're thinking; touchscreen displays are not the best control mechanisms for most games. That is true, but most people don't seem to mind. Plus, a small amount of practice goes a ways, and I believe the great majority of people know that. If you positively need a controller, it's usually possible to connect a Bluetooth arcade stick or game pad to your device. Need a larger display? IOS devices can send a video signal wirelessly to any display connected to an Apple TV, or you can hook it up directly over HDMI.
All of sudden, my PS3 and Xbox 360 don't appear so special anymore. Still, I'd drool all over the PS Vita, though I don't feel compelled to buy one because of my iPhone and iPad.
