At the Web 2.0 summitt, John Doerr mentioned the high number of games available in the iTunes App store, and wondered whether the iPhone's potential as a gaming platform is being underestimated by Sony and Nintendo. His interest stems from KP having funded a company that develops free and paid games available through the iTunes store.

Finally, Free games only accounted for 19% of all games in the most recent week and close to three-quarters cost $1.99 or less:
