Apple's Game Center Tilts the Playing Field

|

During Apple's iPhone OS 4 presentation this week, gamers' ears perked up at one point in particular: the mention of a new social platform called "Game Center" for the mobile operating system. Details about Game Center are still scarce, but the fact that Apple has targeted social gaming raises questions about how dangerous these moves might be to players like Nintendo and Microsoft.
Gaming enthusiasts who gobble up every tidbit of news they can about consoles, gadgets and titles didn't have a lot to digest Thursday when Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) revealed that the new iPhone OS 4 would include Game Center, a social gaming network. The news was just one feature mentioned in the overall update for the smartphone operating system; Steve Jobs' company certainly didn't unlock any new levels in the "details" category.
