...I'm just waaay ahead of you guys..

Oh yeah?

And what sorts of games do you play then?

That's my issue. Not enough quality and most games are either dodgy, pointless, boring or short

There are exceptions (Mirror's Edge is fun, Angry Birds of course), but there's no 'big' games like Monster Hunter or Zelda to my knowledge, or real system-sellers.

And that's the thing which is holding back smartphones IMO

Smartphones are not dedicated videogame systems. That's why there are only casual games on the platforms. They are phones and web browsers before they are  game systems. Remember that.

And that's the issue. They can't compete in the way that developers want them to until they become more sustainable platforms, which wil likely hapen sooner than later...
