For serious now, I still can't see why people would presume that handheld smartphones would have no impact on handheld consoles. The market for handheld console games is filled by titles which are games you can play for 1-15 minutes and put down which obviously isn't going to be a major stressor on the battery life of any smartphone. Most of these 1-15 minute games are perfectly doable with motion controls and a touch screen so again the question of interface isn't exactly going to be the killer blow either. Finally we're not talking about just smart-phones here, we also have tablets and mobile media devices like the iPad and iTouch which fill in significant niches in the market so with having significantly cheaper titles to go along with it you have several advantages for smartphones and similar to eek away significant niches of what was once the sole domain of handheld consoles.

 

 



Tease.
