Opinion: Most Japanese developers need to go to mobile gaming.

They should. It doesn't mean they have to leave console gaming development. Expand revenues with mobile games and use that money to make better console games.

Nintendo has the right idea, make separate teams develop mobile games without affect their on-going console/handheld efforts. SONY is doing the same now.

Besides, I can't think of console games that completely suit smartphones better than turn-based jRPGs. Port all of them please :)
