I'm sorry but I fail to understand this. In what way are Touch games comparable to NDS/PSP games? Any loser can make a game where you poke a donkey for 4 hours and load it onto app store at a cost of 4p to gain a profit of £5 whereas the PSP and DS require time, effort and money or they will lose more then they gain. I wish they would stop pretending the touch is a games console when it's simply an overpriced MP3 player with glorified phone games.

As for the 50% returning customers how many of these are stupidly replacing a device that has broken because of poor design the new customers don't know what they're letting themselves into but the half returning must just be unbelievably dim.

Playing games on an iPod Touch and iPhone is just horrible. Even emulated games, cause there's no buttons, not even haptics feedback. I'unno how you could call it a portable gaming console...

i agree that games on the ipod/iphone are completely different from nds and psp games, but not all are horrible. there are some games that are pretty fun. maybe they dont have the lasting appeal, but its a fun few minutes each time.
