So true. I call it the Post-Portable Gaming era (tipping ht to Apple CEO Steve jobs!!!). Same thing is happening in the Portable Gaming Console world as in the Laptop and Netbook world, which are slowly going extinct and being replaced by Tablets and smartphones, the main kilers of portable gaming systems.

My son is a nascent game programmer and I keep telling him that there’s a market in mobile apps. I think your opinion is more of a hard core gamers, similar to his. It’s often said that success is when opportunity meets preparedness. But there needs to be awareness of the opportunity.

For big developers, there still isn’t any real money in iOS or Android. With iOS/Android the money is split among thousands of developers were as with DS/PSP the money is split among only a few dozen.

Takes EA’s biggest franchises for example, they typically only sale a few hundred thousand for a few bucks each on iOS/Android. If EA can make a few million they are lucky. Were as with DS/PSP they sale millions of copies usually for $30 – $40. Even when entering the development cost (much lower on iOS/Android) there still not very profitable.

Big companies think BIG profits, & right now in all industries digital money is still peanuts compared to the old world (even music).
