look at where Apple makes its money. Apple raked in about $12 billion for iPhone sales alone—that's almost half of the company's revenue. The iPod touch, at best, is responsible for about five percent. Apple is merely putting more resources into the product that generates a far larger percentage of its revenue and profits.

Though the reality of the business means Apple could sit back and probably sell about 8-10 million iPod touches over the December quarter, we think the chance to bring "eye-melting graphics" to those users is a missed opportunity for both Apple and the gamers who help support the iOS platform.
