iOS has more games than four generations of consoles, theoretically

Well, this has to be taken with some serious amount of salts, because the seriousness of this statistic is strictly none. The folks at TUAW seemed to be NBTD, and had some cute ideas. Therefore they decided to do a little headcount of the sheer number of games Apple’s App Store has available for your two thumbs. The other side of the ring consists of numbers gathered from publicly available stats on how many games the last 25 years of consoles, which includes those that your huge Tee Vee can befriend with, and those that stays in your pockets. Of course, the caveats are plentiful, as there are a lot of duplicates and Lite versions floating about in the App Store (as well as multi-platform games among the consoles), but the general point that iOS has a lot of games on its books is made pretty clearly. Yes, the iOS has more games than your PSP or NDS, but it lacks the D-pads! So it’s a strict no-no.
