Not many new big hit games have come out but in the next 6 months a ton are coming out so it will go back up

[Nintendork723]

My favorites are age of zombies and cut the rope

[PlayStationForLyfe]

this girl is not a gamer have a look she looks away all the time to look at the notes

[ThatGuy1208]

It out sales consoles because all of the games are like 99 cents, and like a high of $7. They don't earn more profits though. Plus people download them just to play while they are bored.

[poncho828]

people who play games on there phones are not gamers they are wannabe gamers they shouldnt count

@infinidominion AVGN quote:"When a hippo takes a shit,shit comes out and presses his tail against his asscrack,shreds the shit all over the place,that just as fun as this game"

[8BitAwesome]

Theres bad months because there is no releases..this isnt much news..

[TheRandomChannelTV]

fruit ninja!

[toniv77]

I've never understood people who use their phones for games and music. Almost Every one has a DS and an iPod (touch nano etc.) so you don't need games on your phone! I've played a lot of games from "the app store" and They're just short boring garbage... Just my opinion!

[fiddlebender88]

@toniv77 I use my phone for music sometimes because there's no reason to get an mp3 player if the phone's music player is decent and basically it's mp3 to a 3.5" output which is not the best audio quality out there it doesn't really matter. If I really want to sit down and listen to music I use CD's or FLAC files.

[Rider0fLightning]

Mobile gaming? iPhone is a phone, not a gaming platform. I play the 3DS for gaming.

[carlosmashiado1]

i used to own a blackberry you can't play on that shit it would explode if so or show you the fucking clock like every single second blackberry suck balls ANDROID IS THE FUTURE and Apple BITCH YOU BETTA RECOGNIZE lol

[Pyromania37]

[xan1242]

@Pyromania37 I don't play my games on anything like that,I play my real games on my laptop.

[Trevguy00]

Can't you play FF1 on Iphone nowadays? If so, I choose that.

[NightArck2]

[Blacckkfire]

This is all I hear. "OH NO! TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE BUYING ANGRY BIRDS! THEY WILL HAVE TO CANCEL MASS EFFECT!"

I see it unlikely

[FAKEBC]

How could Blackberry gamers be tied with dumb phone gamers?

[ShaolinDeadlyGamers]

F me... 3x more people on iPhone then windows 7 phone... even with XNA.. I bought a windows 7 phone just so I could play indie games from XNA users.

[sabombardonist]

@ShaolinDeadlyGamers You can do that with Windows. Seriously, if you're buying a Windows Phone 7 phone for the gaming power, you're not in the right place. Honestly, I don't know why Windows Phone 7 exists. Not because I'm a biased, Linux guy who is a little anti-Google (as in, I'm waiting for WebOS to get a decent phone), but because it just seems...clunky and underpowered. But hey, it's your phone.

[ShaolinDeadlyGamers]

@sabombardonist it's not for "gaming power" it's gaming content. I was trying to support the XNA indie artists.

[sabombardonist]

@ShaolinDeadlyGamers I'm not that familiar with the way WP7 works. You're telling me that XNA for WP7 is different than XNA for Windows desktop?

[ShaolinDeadlyGamers]

@sabombardonist Yeah in that I don't carry my desktop computer with me on the subway

[sabombardonist]

@ShaolinDeadlyGamers Ah. But the graphs shouldn't dishearten you. WP7 is playing catchup because geeks like me don't really like it, and people who are really in it for gaming or trendiness go for Apple or Android. If you have a steady stream of indie titles that you enjoy, don't compare it to Apple's MASSIVE library, or Android's similarly large one. If you're happy with your platform, and it does what you need it to do, then I don't see what you have to worry.

[ShaolinDeadlyGamers]

@sabombardonist my phone before that weighed 4 pounds and had an 8 inch antenna on it. So anything is a step up. 

[sharkey360]

$100 billion by Twenty-Fifteen? Very possible but that will also depend on how the money is counted. Sales of digital offerings should be taken into account.

[FuyuAkiWorld]

Hey! Bolackberrys rock! thy're way better than your stupid iPhones!

[ironeli101]

Welcome To The Video Game iNdustry

[kickflipjr]

cut the rope, peggle, tetris

[crosbysakic8719]

how about you lower the god damn prices!!!!!

[emeryDH]

@crosbysakic8719 Exactly, thank you! It's not like I have $60 to spend on games all the time. I don't mind $30, but $60 just doesn't seem worth it. I just wait for the prices to go down to buy games.

[fortifythamind]

SOCOM Fireteam BRAVO 3 on PSP..... What? PSP is a mobile divice.

[shadowtsunami]

that's what blackberry are for, business.

[callmemarc]

[aanimeaddicttgabe]

[THEREALVITO]

[sonicdremgenesis]

[mtvenar]

Mach Defense. Must...collect...credits...

[DeltaPhi79]

I don't have a smartphone :D. So none.

[Metalgearfreak0906]

@DeltaPhi79 Me neither :D

[Cidiyance]

Only Angry Birds got my attention when it came to Mobile games and also, I don't think Mobile gaming will dominate the games market completely if you think about it.

The Wii did brilliantly but now it's not really that much, it gets to the point where the consumer will ask for more, granted I'd like to see FF6 on a iPhone sometime soon.

[Abvance]

Hanging with friends.

[JDavies345]

well, they say Apple will soon be equaled in a year or two against Andrond

[xan1242]

@JDavies345 IDK about Apple,they suck.

[JDavies345]

@xan1242 as in android will catch up with Apple soon

[shadowtsunami]

@JDavies345 what do you mean?

[47H10N]

Final Fantasy 1-3 on iOS

[CloudNineGamer]

@47H10N I love that Square Enix is giving us old classics. Final Fantasy 1-3, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy Tactics, and i heard a rumored Chrono Trigger. All my games are Square and a Sonic game. Woot woot!
