Infinity Blade is supported by Apple itself as far as I know. So it is not a direct indication of anything.
As a long time gamer and a smartphone owner, I don't think smartphones can't replace dedicated handhelds. 99% of the games are crap and the few good ones are crippled by the lack of controls. Some RPG's and some basic games in which not much input is required work well and that is it.
Some of the casual handheld owners are heading that way, that is for sure though.
There should be a smartphone gaming thread to discuss games.
