Nah, they don't even have controls barely.

RPGS? Certainly, of course. SIMS? Sure! Racing games might even work

But every game type that matters (*cough*), nah

well some say that's where the money is and why bother to make a handheld gaming system when smartphones beat them hands down in hardware?

this isn't my opinion just the opinion of someone i was arguing with over steam who felt that handheld gaming systems are dead and smartphones are the next step in gaming that rakes in the cash

the quality doesn't matter when stuff like mario runner is a hit

D. Why? You're basically asking if a mobile phone will ever be as powerful as consoles/PC.

The games industry is a mess right now, so something will change soon. Who knows how it will finally shake out, though? Technology is still changing faster than the industry can account for, especially with it lugging around 30 years of antiquated notions.

Deny. There'll always be PC and consoles, though all digital is happening.

Why do you ask trollish questions like that?

And some people think 9/11 was an inside job. The world is full of delusional ninnies. At least in the gaming companies' case, they *can* make a tidy profit on mobile because it doesn't matter whether or not it's "the future" since the now is profitable enough.

Relevance? Because that was kinda working on a different model.

Ha, No, Not so long as every game is "F2P" but is so heavily geared towards wanting people to buy the Microtransactions, Looking at you Fate/GO....

Console/PC games will remain dominant for a while to come.

Well, it's a model that works for a lot of companies. And, so long as free ways exist to access that same content, they're going to have a larger enough playerbase to attract mtx buyers since the freemium model *usually* requires a lot of non-payers to bulk out the numbers and interest.
