Everyone can agree on this, that half the articles on N4G are about Apple taking over the handheld market and those articles are usually written by idiots.
They say look at he sails of the Apple products, but there are a few reasons they are so high.
1. They is popular
2. People think they are good because the Mac and PC ads.
3. They break easily, and when people get a refund they count that as a new sale.(I know this for a fact)
They say apps get downloaded a lot more than games are bought. They should looks at how much people actually buy apps instead of checking how much people download them to be more accurate.
1. One person can buy Angry Birds and 20 people can download it.
2. One person may download Angry Birds and uninstall it and do that multiple times
3. Games are like 0.99 and old people who dont care for gameing usually buy them or you play them on the bus ride home.
I like the DS and PSP more because you get stuff you cant get on Apple products.
1. First party support
2. Buttons
3. Third party support
4. and some stuff I am missing but you know what it is
The only Apple product I own is an iPod touch. I dont buy stuff on the app store only thing I ever paid for was the rabbids game. My Mother buys a bunch of stuff on it so I would just download what she bought and get it for free or I download a free app to see if its good. I usually read digital comics on it. I use a free app I found to read them on. I would only get an iPad for digital comics and that's about it.
We have those people who make an app and it gets downloaded a lot and they make a big deal over it and think they are gods of the gaming industry(Angry Birds Dev). But the gods are Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and Valve. For giving us gamers systems and software so we can play video games with great features and games.
Apple products are just a fad for now and would die off when a new thing comes out the people would like. I'm not saying they are bad or good products, I am saying they will never be solid gaming device like the 3DS and PSV.
Anyone can be a journalist but not everyone is smart enough to be one but sadly more idiots call them selves journalists.

PSN PASS Trial???
So there's been a lot of hate and heated discussion regarding the new PSN PASS. Now I am by no means against it as I mostly buy new and rarely rent or buy used (games with online anyway) and support devs that I respect. But I just think the whole PASS is being implemented wrong. Now this blog mostly applies to those who buy used and also for those who rent.
Blocking you from playing a shred of online unless you have a PASS is a little too strict and forceful on Sony's part in my opinion. Without testing the online in anyway, you have no idea if its your money's worth or not. Its like heading into a pitch-dark cave with no light available. So, for sympathy(some) of those who feel a bit cold shouldered by Sony and the PSN PASS, I'm suggesting that Sony should add an online trial to every game that requires a PSN PASS. A trial that lets the consumer test the online for an hour or two, and once that time is up it states you need to buy the PSN PASS to continue using online. That hour or two provides enough time to let you decide whether you think you should cough up the cash for the pass or not. This will prevent complaints of users feeling "ripped off" if they didn't like the online and just spent $10 on it for nothing and also let you taste the online experience.
This will also provide enough time for those who rent, to play the online and decide if they should buy the game or not afterwards. By no means does this curve around the fact that you still have to buy the PASS eventually if you bought the game used, but it does help cool the waters a bit and takes some pressure off your decisions of buying the game new(if rented) or the PSN PASS.
Refusing to buy a game that requires a PSN PASS is pathetic at best, and hurts devs more than Sony. You can have a much greater impact if you can try to persuade Sony to implement things like this trial. So those who buy used are gonna have to live with the PSN PASS breathing down there necks, but if you can spread word of this idea (timed trial) then perhaps the PSN PASS's breath won't smell as bad as without the trial. I've already submitted this idea on Playstation.blog.share, and I'm mostly doing this for the people who buy used to give them a crutch to walk on for a bit. Please let me know your thoughts on the trial, and only the trial, there's enough bickering/complaining already on countless threads, and would prefer to get this idea across peacefully :)
