Why are mobile games so big?

[SmokeyVol]

It seems like the mobile gaming business has took off this past year. Every month Xbox Magazine has a section dedicated to mobile games. EAsports has Tiger Woods, NBA Live, Madden ’08, Skate, Fight Night, NASCAR, NCAA Football ’08, FIFA, etc…….

Can someone please explain to me how they are worth the money? I would personally rather go home to my 62” HDTV with an actual controller to play games. Why would anyone waste their money on a mobile game that has horrible graphics? Plus you get to play it on a tiny screen with horrible controls!

Go checkout www.eamobile.com and see how many games on that one site you can get for your phone. I’m not knocking their little money maker, but I just don’t see the value in the games. The technology is so far behind console gaming. Are the current mobile games the NEXTGEN for cell phones? If so I feel sorry for the mobile gamers.

Any thoughts?

All I know is that all the times I took my father to get his chemo, I was glad I had a PSP. Otherwise, 3-5 hours in a hospital would have been unbearable.

That's good you had a PSP, but sad to hear about your father. How's he doing now?
