Game Developers Prefer Apple?

No one would have guessed that Apple is actually winning the race among handheld game developers, the information was provided by Game Developer Research. Nineteen percent of handheld game develops now write for the iPhone and iPod touch. That number is actually double the amount of Nintendo DS and Sony PSP developers. Other interesting figures pointed out by Game Developer Research include:

• Handheld games are now 25 percent of the whole gaming market, up from 12 percent before the iPhone/iPod touch phenomenon.

• During the last three quarters, all handheld game developers are writing for the iPhone and iPod touch.

No wonder Nintendo and other game companies are not happy with Apple. What do you think of this turn of events in the gaming industry?
