All console makers have inhouse development teams, but smartphone makers tend to leave it to thirdparties.

Microsoft is keen to ensure Windows Phone 7 gets off to a great start however; hence the new that it's set up its own mobile development studio.

Mobile Microsoft

The news was delivered via a job posting on the giant's website, the blurb for the position of lead service software development engineer at its Redmond HQ confirming Microsoft's intention to work on its own games for the platform.

"Microsoft Games Studios is establishing a new Studio - MGS Mobile Gaming - focused on bringing games and entertainment to the mobile life that people lead," the company says in the posting.

"Our vision is to deliver games and entertainment so good that people will want them always with them, on a service that makes them social, connected and relevant anywhere their life goes."

Should help ensure there are some top notch titles to be released for mobile platforms. Bear in mind that the quotes do not say anything about WP7, but we can assume that will be a priority target.

Eh personally I would prefer more 360 exclusive titles but the mobile game market is pretty huge so I can understand why they are doing this.

Yeah, the new tablet will run Win7, but it's probably going to need titles scaled down in min reqs to run smoothly, instead of running on a laptop or desktop. I think the sweetspot is to push titles that can be easily ported from Laptop/Desktop->Xbox->Tablet->Phone...this is really where M$ can build serious momentum in carving deeply into the mobile market.
