Most members of this site are still at stage 1: denial.. The rest is at level 3: depression .. And two, me excluded, may be at stage5 acceptance

Hah...what acceptance needs to be made?All I know is that I am playing full console versions of Jet Set Radio, crazy Taxy, Max Payne and GTA Vice City on my Android based Nvidia Shield, in full HD, all of which I bought for less than 15 bucks combined. Can't do that with 3DS or PS Vita...

Somethng like Xcom and Deus Ex on iOS is much closer to console gaming on the go than 90% of Vita games. 

I see no reason to acept anything, other than better technology, pricing model and wider device appeal. 

And that is the issue with Smartphone apps -- the R&D (development) costs have been funded by previous console and handheld sales.

When they go away, almost all remaining is freemium or junk. (A bit of a hyperbole, I admit).

As for the report, I have not read it in full, but last quarter I had some methodological questions.
