Despite Sony and Nintendo still claiming plenty of space in the mobile gaming market, there’s a real threat from Apple. No, not by the Cupertino-based company directly (outside of manufacturing the device, of course), but from the video game developers out there who are mad geniuses enough to do things like id Software’s John Carmack has done. Through some kind of incantation of Black Magick, he has squeeezed id’s Rage title onto the iPhone 4, and it’s running at 60fps. A small part of us, perhaps the part that wants to hold on to some kind of rationale for the real world, wants to think that this is some kind of cruel joke, but it isn’t. In fact, Carmack believes that with this showcase, he’s actually shown that original Xbox titles, and PS2 titles for that matter, have been blown out of the water.
