Maybe he is thinking about, hooking the cellphone to the TV with wireless and the controller via bluetooth to play at home... don't think miniaturization will get us there unless for the more casuals.

I sure hope there will always be a market for dedicated gaming machines (even if with the silly social and media adds) so we can have cost efficient good hardwares with nice timeframes.

Hmm... but if you are using an external controller to play and an external screen to view... what good is the phone for? It's just a tinier box. Also, a big problem with phones is that there are loads of different versions with different specs. Gaming couldnt be unified on it unless their model for selling more changed. I really don't see these markets merging together. They have different business styles. Most that buy phones don't do it for gaming aswell.

Never said it would be a good idea, just that people think smartphones will get so powerfull and battery efficient that you wouldn't need a console... and would be completely wireless and extremely portable... I don't like the idea, I like my big boxes =] even more when they have a cool design.
