Mmm interesting read! And it has a few points to it as well.
But couldn't mobile games be sort of a portal to handheld gaming? If kids start playing iOS games they might buy a 3DS later on to get better games? |
The thing is, is not really the kids who are playing these games in droves, its mostly adults, and i doubt you will get most of them to start playing the meatier games of the 3DS or Vita if they never gave a damn in the first place, especially if those games are going to be even more expensive. and most kids dont have hundreds of dollars lying around to buy themselves a 3DS. It isnt unlike the WIi, sure alot of people bought WiiFit and Sports Resort, but how many of those type of people bought Conduit? GE?, COD on Wii? Most of them didnt because they were not interested

No, kids don't buy games on iPhones/iPads - but their parents do, and a lot of the time the kids will make their parents buy a certain game they want. And THAT'S a possible way to get into handhelds =)

true, but what are parents more likely to do? Are they really going to shell out money for a 170 dollar machine or more to play games that cost 30 dollars or more? Or are they going to tell little Timmy to piss off and keep buying cheap dollar games for the 200 dollar phone they already bought. I know what i would do.
