Due to the touch screen capabilities and other factors, it is predicted that the next target for Grand Theft Auto will be the iPhone. As stated in a recent report with Mike Hickeyhe, Janco Partners analyst:
“We expect GTA will likely be ported to Apple’s iPhone platform, leveraging the device’s touch screen technology and accelerometer. Apple’s determination to layer gaming applications into the device’s consumer value proposition and growing installed base is likely sufficient motivation for a deal,” as stated in a recent report with Mike Hickeyhe, Janco Partners analyst.
Thinking that it wouldn’t be too difficult to port Chinatown Wars to the iPhone due to the relation in touch screen, the game could use features supported only by the iPhone and iPod Touch, such as the accelerometer. Also supporting the idea is the fact that the iPhone has been tagged as a ‘DS/PSP Killer’, as developers are already gaining interest in the hardware that is outstanding, compared to the DS and PSP.
