iPod Under Pressure

Now, i think i'm right in saying, and please, correct me if i'm wrong, Nintendo and Apple are on a par in the famous world. Apple are really trying to push a lot of their products at the moment as games consoles. I'm not opposed to a good old bit of technological convergence, but the quality of games played on an iPod or iPad just don't match up to the quality on Nintendo. This is because the iPod is primarily a music playing device, which ever way you look at it, back in the dark ages of iPod classic, before the word 'App' was really in common usage, people bought Apple products because that was the new MP3 player of the time.

But now that more and more games are being thrust upon the mighty iPod, people are expecting more and more, and their expectations can never be met for the price of £2.50, a few mega bytes and a 320/480 pixel screen. Soon, the iPod will have a huge mental breakdown, crumble under the pressure and start throwing itself off of docks across the world. There'll be a massive file sharing apocalypse and we'll all be left picking up the pieces, listening to those things we used to call CD's and buying radios.

Anyway, I see people constantly moaning about the lack of content or gameplay hours, or the storyline of a game that they bought online and paid about £2 for. You don't buy games for an iPod or iPhone to play heavily, they're good for if you have 5 minutes to kill waiting for the train, or if you're stuck in a particularly boring section of life, such as an assembly or Critical Thinking lesson. Help save the iPod and buy Nintendo games if you want to play hardcore - sort it out UK... not pleased...
