Fair enough, I guess. The price point is not particularly compelling to me: I think the emphasis on low price point is actually a really unfortunate trend. There are many thirty-dollar DS games which offer a more valuable experience to me than probably any thirty dollars' worth of iOS games. I think at least some of the pushback against iOS gaming is from people who feel similarly, and would lament losing the games that would simply never be developed if the mobile/handheld market can support only the rare game priced over $5. Maybe it'll change, though.

It doesn't make any sense to me -- why spend so much time lauding Dead Space for iOS and then so easily dismiss Uncharted for the NGP?

I understand that Uncharted is probably more suited to the PS3, but there's no question that Dead Space is also best on a home console or PC. It seems to me that the success of Dead Space iOS would indicate some demand for a home-console-type experience on a portable. Price aside, I don't see how an NGP-exclusive Uncharted would fail to generate similar interest, unless the majority of gamers are too ashamed of their hobby to be seen playing games in public, of course.
