Ignoring game exclusivity for a second. Go ahead and try to play Skyrim on a ipad. You'll get fed up charging the device, leaving it plugged in. Making it stuck at home in the first place. Awkward controls, and annoying table placement. If you plug it into a TV it turns into a home console. Defeating the benefits in the first place. Are you willing to do a 12 hr game marathon on your 500$ iPad? Wearing out the device thats really for medium work load faster. Not to mention a 20-50GB game on a portible device. That's only one game avabile if you dump everything off it. IF you own the 64GB version. Let alone the $1000 128 GB iPad. You'll be syncing like crazy.

There is no viaiblity to modern games. Ports of decade old games, yes. But games of now. Forget that.


This pretty much sums it up. Tablet gamers aren't even interested in these giant AAA games anyways. They're casuals that just wait to kill a few minutes playing temple run or something. I think mobile gaming should just be treated as casual entertainment or a gate way to consoles and PC.

So, what your saying is that if a tablet with the power of a PS4 and the ability to connect to any tv and use a wireless controller was available, you as a gamer would shun it just because it's a tablet?  At some point, tablets will be capable(really expensive tablets are almost there now) of matching the power of a console.  Why will people buy a console when they can get the ability with something they will be buying for all of it's other uses too?


LOL, what you basically described was a console. A tablet is suppose to be portable. If you connect it to a tv and use a controller than it is essentially no longer a tablet.
