I *think* what he means is that by giving access to games on the iPad, people develop naturally a gaming "habit" (or at least a portion of these people) and these are the "new" customers that Sony is hoping to woo if these iPad pundits outgrow the limitations of the iPad as far as gaming goes and search for a "richer" gaming experience which Sony reportedly have in their possession in the form of the PSP.

That is, I believe, the reasoning behind his words. Reminds me of drug dealers giving out crack samples to get neighbourhood kids "hooked" on the good stuff... they later grow up to be "customers".]]>Feb 1st 2010 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/31/sonys-john-koller-apples-entrance-into-gaming-market-drives-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/31/sonys-john-koller-apples-entrance-into-gaming-market-drives-c/
That guy is so full of crap. PS2 and PSP sales have been down all of 2009. He ought to check out some facts for himself.

I can understand the PS2 losing share to the newer PS3, but the PSP is losing sales to the Nintendo DS.]]>Feb 1st 2010 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/31/sonys-john-koller-apples-entrance-into-gaming-market-drives-c/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/31/sonys-john-koller-apples-entrance-into-gaming-market-drives-c/

Gaming without buttons is just dumb. The nintendo DS has got a keypad for a reason. Sames as the PSP. The iPad will never be a portable game console.

No, they don't. Even iphone 3gs games dont have better graphics.
How you could claim that boggles my mind, the sheer logistics of it make your remark stupid.
