OT: I think that some of points made in the OP also apply to traditional console gaming but on a different scale. Games are popular for a while and then become a distant memory for mobile and console. How many people are still talking about Gears of War? Where are all the threads about Uncharted 2? They are a distant memory, people have moved on. With that said I think that Nintendo going full on mobile as a source of revenue is a bad idea. However I don't see the harm in a simple F2P mario platformer that is used to drum up interest in the Wii U/new Mario games. |
I said that not all games are "evergreen" type of titles. However, Uncharted 2 was pretty popular for the year it came out in. These apps are only popular for a few months, it seems. Tops.
By the way, I don't dislike mobile games. I'm, in fact, playing Flappy Bird. And it's fun for short bursts.
