I currently own many droids/Tablets and WP7's.

I do not see any game that rivals Console Graphics.

Arcade download XBL/Arcade games yes, Console graphics no, sorry but no.

Yes games look fantastic on y 5inch screen, move to tablet and your still good, move those graphics to my 42inch HD, pushing it, move it to my 61inch, Nope, sorry. (VIA Xoom to TV function)

Devs make apps for the masses, there are not nearly enough Google TV's on the market for Devs to make the decision to push for larger apps with large graphic capabilities.

Then comes depth, there are very few Droid games with depth.  You have a few games with amazing graphics but very few maps, almost a demo in console terms when it comes down to it.  Again, not enough of a Google TV install base to make an impact for larger games.

Smart Phone games are made for, quick turn on and play, sitting on the toilet, stuck in the DMV Quick Gameplay.

Ya I play Onlive on my Tablet and Phones but you need a good connection to use it, and not everyone has 4G LTE, and 4G LTE will not be good for another year, heck maybe two before everyone on every carrier gets it, and it will be at least 3 years before 4G LTE covers current 3G coverage.  People are not going to buy Google Apps that they can only play on their Google TV and not phone, I mean thats what their console is for.

With that said:

Prices are going up for apps, prices are going up for phones, prices are going up for connections, and limits are coming to carriers, meaning you get charged for even downloading some of these games because they are becoming large, but most of the large files are due to cut scenes and audio..  (I have unlimited) but now almost all carriers will have limit to their network and coming in the next couple years, your going to start seeing a decline in smart phones sales, and this will because of the carriers and companies charging so much for products that only last a few months before apps don't evne work on your phone because it's out of date.

It's like the PC, average people bought a PC to handle the game they currently play, then realize that new games comes out and they have to upgrade, now a few months later they have to spend more money, same will happen with the smart phone market.

12 months ago I could get a smart phone for $99 with a 1 year contract, if you want to play today's games it will cost you $249.99 & a two year contract.  Carriers noticed that more people started to buy smart phones outright for a whopping $500+ for a smart phone to stay off contract and decided to try and make up for it.
