Here are some interesting thoughts. The used game market is complained about by the suppliers of games more than any entertainment market out there. There are stores that sell used music, used videos, used books, used comics, used toys etc. Very few individuals from those industries complain about their used market and any that do are not as vocal as those from the games industry. So why does the games industry complain so much and so loudly? What can be done to alleviate their concerns? Let's talk.

You should tell that to the millions of iPhone/Ipod Touch owners who buy games on a regular basis. I sure they would completely agree and trash their device just because you say that what they are playing aren't really games.
Nothing that is done on the DS cannot be done on the iPhone.
Wow. Just wow.
But the iPod touch is nothing more than a quick fix with weird controls
Yes, be cause touch controls are so "weird". Maybe you forgot that the DS was built around the same idea.
This reminds me of how everyone was,. and still is to some degree, complaining about how motion controls on the Wii are not the "proper" way to play games. Now look at Sony and Microsoft. They are trying to shove out their own version of motion controls to get in on the market the Wii created.
Despite what you think, there is no "proper" way to play a game. A game can be played in any way the designer sees fit.
If Apple was serious about the iPod being for games, they would release a controller cradle. Imagine a Dualshock with batteries inside, the iPod mounted in between the trigger humps. THAT is gaming. Everything else is just not worth bothering.
Yes, they should make a PSP/DS combo rather than trying to stand out and be unique. We all know that gaming should stagnate in the same controls and play styles. Gaming is absolutely perfect the way it is and no one should try to do anything different.
Anyone know if Hulu.com is compatible with the Wii's browser? It would be really nice if it is.
I must be out of it if I don't get the "MWii" reference.
Been gone for a while and people are still calling you out as a fan boy. Sorry dude. That sucks.
Personally, I thought your point was valid and well worth reading.
The resulting "debate" not so much.
