Could Apple's iPhone dethrone the Nintendo DS as the portable gaming platform of choice? Not likely.
An article from Forbes this week points out that the iPhone might just have what it takes to get the top spot in handheld gaming. Apple's combination of touch controls (similar to Nintendo DS) and motion controls (similar to Nintendo Wii) in iPhone is a combination that has attracted interest in the device's gaming potential.
The DS has quite a few advantages that could very well keep Nintendo's system on top. Aside from the more than 73 million Nintendo DS units sold worldwide, lower price and young audience, the slew of original Nintendo characters keep fans loyal. Sorry, Apple, you won't be seeing Mario or Zelda games on the iPhone any time soon.
