The reason isn't to make people buy a new system for one game, it is a reason for people to buy this system for other reasons, and this is just another reason.

Also it isn't a "gloyfied iphone", the controller just has a touch screen. The same thing could be said about the I-Pad, since it came out after the Nintendo DS.

And shorter console lives may bet a bit negative, but new console mean new features, and new features mean more experimentation, and if history has told us anything, experimentation leads to better things.

Also watch your language. We do not allow swearing here.
