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.
That probably does not mean that mobile devices will displace the existing game console market, anymore than tablet PCs will replace laptops or smartphones will replace laptops. 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.
