Maybe not as much, but to be honest there wasn't as much to cover! This isn't a game console, this is a device running a whole new mobile operating system.
There wasnt as much hype over the PS3, 360 and Wii. The consoles are targeted to gamers and if you went to Joystiq or 1Up when the consoles were release they had extensive coverage. Anyone will enjoy and iPhone whereas only gamers will enjoy the consoles.
I appreciate you coming out to say that you acknowledge this at least, Ryan. I'm sick of the news too; and realize news is sometimes slow on weekends- so I guess the choice was iPhone or nothing. I think the whole deal is that people heard a lot about the iPhone pre-launch; and now that it's out- it's all flooding together into one huge iPhone storm of news in the minds of those of us unimpressed with the device.
I'll be playing around with my new Sprint Moto Q, for a few days; and by the time I get done molesting it, the iPhase should be over with.
Sorry to bust your bubble, but the mobile phone industry dwarfs the game industry. Not to mention, the iPhone happens to be the most highly anticipated consumer electronic device in history. Deal with it or move on.
I just checked by clicking the link for the iPhone tag and for the month of June alone there is over 7 pages of iPhone entries with 15 entries per page. Thats over 105 entries a month so thats 3.5 iPhone stories a day.
Can someone tell me what's so special about the iPhone? My SonyEricsson looks almost exactly the same, have a touch screen that I use to call with and so on. I just can't see what's so special with the iPhone?

Was there this much coverage when the PS3, 360 or Wii came out?

Not even close to this much coverage. And that was three consoles in total!
