iphone-gaming-platformWhen it comes to mobile gaming, the iPhone and iPhone 3G are clearly making strides as an innovative and powerful gaming platform. From 3D action games to more solitary puzzles, the iPhone has access to over 6,000 gaming titles in the highly integrated iPhone App Store – giving the iPhone plenty of options with which to entice mobile gamers. But, it’s not just consumers that have latched onto the iPhone as a legitimate gaming device. The Multimedia Research Consultancy recently surveyed 147 mobile gaming professionals on their thoughts regarding the iPhone as a gaming platform. The results speak for themselves. A resounding 71% of the mobile gaming executives surveyed rated the iPhone as the “best” mobile gaming platform, with 77% believing that the iPhone as “revolutionised the way that mobile games are sold.”

So, there you have it, folks. We already knew the iPhone was a booming success among gaming consumers, but it’s nice to know that the people driving the mobile gaming industry are getting behind the iPhone as well. With the iPhone 3.0 OS likely launching later this year, Apple is poised to take the iPhone to new levels as a smartphone and portable gaming device!
