Greg Joswiak, head of iPod and iPhone marketing told us: “It’s not just the screens that are superior to DS – it’s the graphics capability, the computing power and the App Store distribution model.
“I had an analyst tell me in September – and he was right – that the DS is the past of gaming devices, and iPod Touch is the future of gaming devices. It certainly has our competitors scrambling in what they’re going to do in reaction to this. This product is capable of so much more, and there’s a tremendous synergy we have with the iPod Touch and game developers.”
“iPod Touch represents a more future-looking view of gaming, so maybe it’s in a category of its own. There’s nothing else that does what it does. It’s a very interesting new entrant. I think maybe that’s a better question for [Sony and Nintendo].”

No, just no.
The DS is a console made for games, it was developed ground up for gaming so it has buttons to press as well as a stylus which is quite accurate.
The iphone/ipod touch was only thought of as a gaming device after the launch of the apps store. The interface is terrible and unresponsive, games like super monkey ball are quite hard. Also games like pac-man have a dpad on screen and you have to constantly look down to see it as you cant feel it.
There are just so many reasons why this is fail.
