In our weekly Web Faceoff series, we place opposing social media tools and products into the hands of you, the readers, to determine which one deserves to come out on top. Some of our past competitions were between search engines, wireless networks, browsers and Twitter clients.

Yet while past editions of the Web Faceoff series have featured direct competitors, this week’s battle explored the rapid changes that mobile has brought to gaming. Specifically, the question we posed to you is this: Are the iPod touch and iPhone better for mobile gaming than stewards Nintendo DS and Sony PSP?

As even Apple has stated, the iPhone App Store contains far more games than either the PSP or the DS, are significantly cheaper, and utilize the unique and versatile iPhone OS touchscreen interface. But was that enough to secure your vote?

After nearly 2,000 votes, The iPod touch and iPhone have come out on top. In one of our closest polls yet, Apple’s mobile devices secured 704 votes (36 percent) while the Sony PSP gathered 639 votes (33 percent) and the DS earned the confidence of 482 people (25 percent).

While nobody was able to secure a majority, the sheer fact that the iPhone and iPod touch have grown so fast as legitimate gaming platforms should alarm Nintendo and Sony. Could we see a major change of the guard in the mobile gaming space soon? Will Nintendo and Sony still be major players, or will Apple continue to make inroads and change the game? We want to know what you think in the comments.
