I didn't realize that 'fastest hardware user growth in tech history' was a title that people were vying for, but now the results have been shown. Looks like Apple might want to get into the game industry as a main focus in the near future.

True. But iPod Touch is basically iPhone without the phone component. So it is not totally unfair to pair them together for this.
Just like it's wrong to group DS Lite and DSi sales (which I'm positive they're doing), right?
I like the way you think.
I can see it now: it'll be $2,000, and have no games, but a pretty and simple menu.
If they make an actual game system, I wouldn't buy it. Unless it has real games (not these small casual games that over-saturate the iPhone/iPod Touch).
And just because the iPhone plays games, that doesn't make it a game system. If that were true, then all smartphones would be considered game systems as well. It is just a secondary feature, it's main feature is being a media player/phone.
Now the opposite is true of the PSP. The PSP's main function is a portable game system. It's media playing functions are secondary.

No button on the controler, the box is going to work with the power of the brain, because it's Apple and because it's so cool
Iphone needs to keep its momentum to reach DS.
It's nowhere near to the DS.
PSP sales are at about 55 million units, and that really hasn't changed for months now.
DS sales are at about 115 million units. If you include the DSi, then that adds a couple million more sales.
Is Apple saying that the Wii has sold more units than the DS? I highly doubt it has reached 100 million yet.

You guys are reading it wrong. They're talking about the Wii first 10 quarters, since its launch, and the DSs first 10 quarters since its launch, and etc. They're not going by the last 10 quarters, or the total accumulated sales of each system.

I'm pretty sure if the iPhone/iPod Touch weren't the fastest hardware user growth in tech history and Nintendo's Wii still held that, you guys would all be boasting. -_-
But those numbers are suspicious because they combined the iPhone and iPod Touch together. Not really fair to count them when each SKU released on two different dates, times, and years.
I wasn't reading it wrong I just thought the DS sky rocketed after the 8th quarter. I guess you can't really see it here.
Anyways, it is unfair to put iPhone and iPod Touch together because one is being bought as a phone and the other as an mp3 player. I mean, why don't we add the DSi sales or hell Wii and DS together. They're being bought for different reasons but both are about games.
and s*** mp3 players...
all life windows&linux dual boot and creative for mp3...
if apple is going into games market Nintendo will smash them as made with atari,sega,sony,and microsoft...
in this market there is only a king and is Nintendo.
