Funnily enough, smartphone gaming was doomed right from the beginning for that very reason. Unless a publisher gets hold of the next Angry Birds, Cut The Rope or Draw Something there's very little money to be made from smartphone gaming. There's a reason why Zynga are going down the toilet and why every major publisher has either scaled down or completely shut down their mobile gaming divisions. Despite what you read in the media about it being a 'threat' to handheld and home consoles there really isn't a great deal of profit in smartphone gaming.
