No. It is a phone that has games. Not a game system. It's purpose in life is not games and things surrounding games and its not a pc.
So no, it should not be considered another system.

It's all just semantics really, but I suppose if you can consider 'casual' as it's own genre, then you can also consider the iPhone as another system.

Yes, I would consider them as another system from a market point of view, but I wouldn't consider it seriously as a gamer.

No. Although it has games, they are universally of a lower quality than anything else on the market.

Ummm? How exactly?
It's a phone that plays game. When I'm bored on the bus it would be nice to play a game rather than stare into the black abyss that is my soul for the bus ride.

OT: No, it's not a console.

ok not exactly a crime but really to count it as a console means that Applemac has become part of the gaming community and the last thing i want is some tard going on about his iphone/tutch (w/e) on a gaming forum

Well, the newspaper has puzzles, so I consider them equal in terms of gaming platform-itude.


Hey, the newspaper has tons of sequels without changing anything! It's a real game system now!

I love my iPhone to death, but all the articles about them being a serious gaming medium really piss me off. I don't consider the equivalent of flash games as revolutionary or serious at all and I highly doubt that I'm going to start playing it over my PS3/DS/PC anytime soon. Well, not unless they put an Ace Attorney game on the app store.
