See, the thing is about phones though, is people don't buy them for games. Games on them are just extras. I see a lot of posts how so many more people have phones but lets face it, only a fraction of those are people that actually go to play games on them regularily. People get phones for communication where as the handhelds are for gaming and if people want a handheld, they will probably look to the handhelds over the phones. This may change and it may inhibit the handhelds currently but I doubt phones will take over the handheld gaming sector in the near future.

You'd be surprised about just how much game revenue phones provide. Sure, people don't neccessarily buy  for games, but for most people the only gaming they do is on their phones.

yea,you mean most non gamers only game on there phones. When I can find a massive multiplayer game on a phone are an 100 hr rpg,then give me a call. 

I'm not saying mobile games are as good as console, so I don't know what you're talking about?

All I'm saying is that developers are gimping console games by not bothering to optimise for the most powerful hardware. PS4/One games are consistently being held back by PS3/360 games because devs are developing for all the platforms, while not bothering to use the newer consoles' full potentials. It's even worse on PC.
