My point is not that it won't run. My point is it would run better on the iPad 4 (e.g. more 3d effects) and that I will be disappointed that I don't get to experience it since I'm not willing to upgrade this soon. I do have some concern that iPad3 will have a shorter life cycle than other iPads due to its shorter time in production and potential to be under powered for all the pixels it has to push (I've seen some stuttering in existing games) but as I said in earlier posts, I'm sure I will upgrade before it is a real problem. I was wrong to imply that the issue would be terrible "now" but over time it will happen just like with all tech and I suggest the time is sooner from date of purchase for the iPad 3 than it was for the other iPads.
I don't expect guarantees but I think it to be ok to be disappointed that I won't have the best gaming experience possible on an iPad due to my lack of willingness to invest in the newer device this soon. There is a good chance the next refresh won't come until next October instead of March so this will likely be the case for the next year. It may be that this would have been the March update anyway (doubt it) and it may be that there will still be a March update (doubt that too). Bottom line that in March I would have been willing to upgrade to a new device but not to a mid cycle device so now my next upgrade is likely October. Again, it is my prerogative to be disappointed about that. Understand that many will think I don't have the right to be disappointed and that I should be grateful that I have an iPad 3. I do see the point there and am excited to see the envelope being pushed forward but I still feel that way I feel. Gives me a good opportunity to learn to fight my gadget addiction
