It was widely reported that Apple's App Store downloads jumped over 1,000 percent on Christmas Day and that for the first time, iPod touch app downloads outpaced iPhone App downloads. While this is all certainly good news for Apple, App Developers and the platform as a whole, it's a telling sign that companies like Sony and Nintendo should be very afraid.
The Handheld Gaming Pricing Model has changed!
The reason that these two gaming giants should be afraid is that they have built their handheld gaming businesses on a model that includes selling a moderately priced device and charging a significant price on games.
A quick look at bestbuy.com reveals that the lowest priced game for the Nintendo DS is $9.99.
However, their best selling games are starting at $19.99. Now you could look at this and say that people will spend more for a game that they really like and there's probably some truth to that. However, the games for the iPod touch range anywhere from FREE to $1.99 on average with $9.99 being considered to be an "expensive game."
Parents are starting to realize that if they get their kids an iPod touch it may cost a little more (not a ton more) up front, but they'll save money in the long run on the games themselves. Not to mention that the iPod touch is much more capable device than either the Sony PSP or Nintendo DS. The Nintendo DS and Sony PSP start at $169.99. The Nintendo DS Lite starts at $129.99. The 8GB iPod touch starts at $179.99!

Square-Enix’s cute little RPG, Song Summoner was an adorable little time waster back when it was released back in July of 2008 for the Apple iPod. It’s gameplay was a fusion between the tactical, turn-based stategy battles of Final Fantasy Tactics and the creature creation of Monster Rancher, an old PlayStation game in which you [...]
