Gaming is nowhere near as strong on Android as iPhone. Even with the greater shipments of Android, iOS is the larger gaming platform, so I wouldn't quite agree with the thread title, even if we assume smartphone gaming is killing proper gaming... |
This will change pretty soon though, as developers will have no reason to not focus on Android when it will surpass iOS phones.

The problem game developers have with android phones is fragmentation and they are vocal about it.
Samsung sold a lot of phones with the Galaxy leading the way but a lot of them were different models and hardware based on Android.
A game developer cam easily write a game that works on every iphone without much alteration.
A game developer must take into account the large number of different manufacturers, hardware, type (touchscreen phone , buttons) etc., when working with android.
The article can be misleading if not read correctly. The Galaxy didn't sell 27million or whatever. It was all of Samsung combined Android phones that did. A figure for the Galaxy was not published.
It's a shame google doesn't make money on android sales.

there are a lot of good games for android they are just not all in the market. best graphic games are only downloadable on the internet sites of the developers. and with games like gta 3 we see that now with enough galaxy s2 and other high spec phones android gets great games as well. (btw i don't like to play these great games on the smartphone i only play the simple ones on it like chess or angry birds) for the big games i need a real handheld.
