Thanks to the App Store Apple’s iOS powering devices like the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has become a premiere gaming platform. Sure many of the titles aren’t as full fledged as something you’d find on a dedicated portable console like the Nintendo 3DS but many big studios have gotten down on the fun releasing many top notch titles.

EA, for example, is one of the biggest game studios getting down on iOS with several of their hardest hitting franchises already available. In fact, just today it was announced that EA will be holding a sale on their iOS games bringing many of the hottest titles to a more palatable price tag. For example, Dead Space, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12, SimCity Deluxe, The Sims 3, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and The Simpsons Arcade.

All of these titles have been dropped to $5 or less with several of them dropped to just $1.

It looks as if Apple is serious about breaking into the portable gaming market as EA has recently announced that, along with the yet to be released portable Spore, the iPhone and iPod Touch will be getting versions of The Sims 3 and SimCity.

What does this mean for Sony and Nintendo? Probably nothing yet.

But, with other titles from EA such as Yahtzee Adventures, EA Mini Golf, Mahjong, Monopoly: Here & Now The World Edition, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09, Need for Speed Undercover and, Lemonade Tycoon also coming to Apple’s handhelds, there may be reason for the companies to worry in the near future.
