That's just it. 90%+ of all mobile and tablet games are things that allow you to "kill a bit of time". They are not games meant to be sat and played seriously for any real length.

Dedicated portable gaming consoles are a whole different beast, because they have actual full-blown video games that are meant to be sat and played for major periods of time.

But thats today, right now.  Don't shoot for where the duck is, shoot for where its going to be.

 

That isn't going to change much. People don't sit and play cell phone games for hours on end. They play them in transit, or when they're having to wait several minutes. Portable consoles and home consoles are more for actual gamers, who want to engage in long-term gaming with actual substance. That is not going ot change either.
