The mobile market shows the danger of parity

I dont care but phone games are the worst hands down.

There are only VERY FEW and hard to find gems that are actually worthile and meaningful, others? please,.....

Though haveing one or 2 like that "all for money scumbugs" games as time wasters is fine lol. I have Samurai Seige which is a CoC type game and its bad, but the best of those type games!

Badlands is very indielike, and there was a game where you played as a Android....AMAZING.

I agree, even great games are crippled on mobile due to the woeful controls. JAZZ: Trump's Journey was a really promising iOS/Android game that was ruined by touch screen controls for me. It has been ported to Vita and released this week and wow, it's a fantastic little 2D platformer.

Parity overall is desirable to some extent, as in you want the core experience to be the same. You only need to look back to the 80s to see just how bad a huge disparity between games on different formats was to see why some level of parity is required. However full technical parity will always be for the lowest common denominator which is not good for the superior hardware.
