I doubt it, the iphone is the handheld console of today, lots of people use that more than the browser. It's a shame that there's not really any good games for the iphone though (I'm looking at you, every IAP game ever).
How is it the handheld console of today when there are so few good games on the platform? I personally find the touchscreen a terrible input device for most game genres and play styles.
I can't imagine Smash Bros. on a phone. Not unless the phone gets analog sticks, face buttons, and shoulder triggers. Maybe there will be a shell that gets wide support, but given the fact that cases come in so many form factors and that Android phones have no standard shape, I doubt that will happen.
I don't mean to be negative, but phones utterly suck at the kind of games I enjoy most. 2048 is genius, but it's a phone thing.
Does anyone foresee a non-casual, non-contol limited future for mobile gaming? What changes could give it the ability to compete with the 3DS and Vita?
Infinity Blade, Monument Valley and Year Walk are 3 I've played that have been frankly excellent. Year Walk was without a doubt one of my favourite games of 2013.
