Game-Capable Mobile Sales to Swamp Game Consoles, Handhelds


Sales of game consoles and hand-held gaming devices will be swamped by sales of game-capable mobile devices over the next four yeas, according to analysts at iSuppli.

More likely is the creation and growth of new use cases for mobile devices that extend gaming, but in ways adapted to the form factor and user interface a mobile offers.
