You miss the point entirely, I am a gamer, I play on PC, wiki, ps3 360 vita, 3ds and mobile, and in a few weeks I will be adding PlayStation 4 to that list, that is why I am on this site.
You just don't seem to be able to get your head around simple facts without assuming, wrongly, that I am here to attack Nintendo because I am a mobile player. Indeed I do play on mobile but I also play on other systems too.
Unlike you however I consider anyone that plays games, regardless of which games on what platform, to be a gamer.
By your logic any hardware thats general primary function is not to play games, 'does not count and those that use it are not real gamers' then by your logic, computers, on which only a small percentage of computer users actually play games on is also not a 'real gaming platform' and the millions that play games on them are "not really gamers.
Do not try to differentiate between the two by claiming a game is not a game if it is on a mobile, because that is a retarded argument, if software is written as a game it is a game.
As for you claiming I 'failed' I named 3 extremely good mobile games then pointed out that the option is also there to play console games too, this is not a fail, this is an expansive diversity of available software.
Not everyone uses emulators but many do, would you then try to claim that people playing such games on their mobiles "arent real gamers? I doubt it.
When I sat on the train in to Tokyo this morning playing GTA3 on my mobile, do you think I felt any less of a gamer? If you do, you would be wrong.
My point, which you missed entirely, is that mobile devices, tablets and iPods are gaming devices as they have the hardware and available software to play games, these games are touted on advertising for these devices too.
Just because its primary function is not games does not mean that the hardware was not designed with games in mind, or that those who choose to play them are not gamers.
Nor does it change the fact that the mobile market game software revenue is greater than that of the dedicated hardware, does it mean the games are better? Perhaps not, but for the companies making the hardware and selling the software regardless of if its a games console or mobile, is making money, something the mobile platform does well enough that console manufacturers are trying to get in on the action.
Which directly links us to the topic of 'potential Nintendo handheld killer' how would you define that exactly? Would you say the 3ds kills the vita? If so why, more units sold, more software, higher software revenue? If that's the definition then the mobile market doesn't need to kill Nintendo, it did so years ago.
And I'm out, because the ostrich style responses are getting old, clearly teaching old dogs new tricks is easier than teaching Nintendo fans harsh reality.
You guys keep up your circle jerking elitist attitude about mobile gamers, like the hypocrites you are and always will be, doesn't change the fact that I am right and all facts support what I say, keep thinking your deluded blind faith in a dedicated platform sets it aside from other platforms as you always will.
