Default Mobile gaming will eventually eliminate the entire handheld market...

Says an iPhone 4 having friend of mine. I just simply sent this text back: So you would buy your 7 year old a $400.00 mobile phone, sign a contract, extend your contract, add another unlimited data plan?

I laugh at this everytime i hear it. come to me when Apple makes a dedicated gaming machine. mobile gaming as it stands now is just to waste time. i can never see myself sitting on my phone and playing a game for hours. my 3ds or Wii 2/HD will get that time.

Indeed. I can't say I remembered it when making tthe thread though. Point made. Funny thing is, he refuses to buy an iPod because "they're over-priced", and he can get a generic one that is "just as good" for quite a bit cheaper.

He was burned pretty bad by Zune.

The fact that phones are going with digital buttons to eliminate all but the mmost necesarry physical buttons makes it difficult to game unless it is gesture/touch based. I can't stand games that have fake dpads.

I count...volume rocker, and powerbutton on my Thunderbolt.

I use this phone for qquite a bit. Browsing. Txting. Calls. Photos. Ebooks, and comic reading. I've a few favorite time waste games installed, but I tried one of the mmos and, while captivating, it just was hard to get in too deep.

I think this argument is irrelevant, most mobile games suck Angry Birds was the only good one and that's being released for virtually every console.
