Danne, did you miss the part where they were saying Konami, Capcom and Square were defecting to mobile devices for revenue?

That's not what I would call PoS-level developers.

And I never said they were. I said that angry birds is a piece of shit (even if it's fun to play at times doesn't make it any less shitty) and a console that only has that sort of games wouldn't get games of the quality like Uncharted, Mario Galaxy, God of War, Gears of War and other current gen hits. That console would be stuck with angry birds, the smurfs and what not. Would YOU buy a console for $600 (knowing Apple that's about the right price ;P) just to play some angry birds? Really? No. No, of course not. Casual gamers might, and that's the market share that would grab an Apple console - NOT the fans of Mario and Link. They'd take a huge dump on it.

But I just said, Konami, Capcom and Square will be making more games there and shifting their business to those platforms. Why no mention of Final Fantasy in your mobile games lists, Metal Gear, Megaman? Why just Angry Birds?

Just revise your PoV and ask me the question again, I may have a more interesting answer.

Yeah, but I don't believe they'll stop producing hardcore titles? And seriously, you won't be able to play quality games on phones. I mean, really. I tried Sonic on android this very day. It sucked ass. I love the original early 90's Sonic - but this was really bad; my THUMB covered half the screen!!

Let me ask you this; do you think Apple would ever be able to attrac hardcore gamers to their possible console, and if so - how? I don't think it's very plausible.
