While many will disagree with it, Apple CEO Steve Jobs claims his firm owns 50 percent of the portable gaming market, as the iPod touch outsells Nintendo and Sony combined:

Steve Jobs just told an audience that the iPod touch alone outsells Nintendo's DS and Sony's PlayStation Portable combined, worldwide. How many games iPod touch users actually play and for how long wasn't discussed, but Jobs said 1.5 billion "games and entertainment" apps have been downloaded -- again, on the iPod touch alone, never mind all those iPhones.
