Smartphones Versus portable game consoles

How many chances have the smartphones runing Android or iOS (iPhone) compared to the Sony PSP or Nintendo 3/DS?

I would say great. But why?

The list of reasons follows:

  • It is much easier to get a license for Android/iOS (iPhone) developer.
  • It is much easier and cheaper to develop games for Android/iOS (iPhone).
  • The games are much cheaper.
  • Many people will not buy a portable game console because they do not want to play so many games,but will eventually buy a casual game for their phone to have some fun.
  • When it comes to Android new hardware comes out quite often, and can be found at much lower prices than a portable game console.
  • But there is a one big problem. Everyone wants a small phone that fits in their pocket easily, there is no place for large and easily used buttons or analog sticks.

But people think about everything,  iControlPad is a device that will make playing games on the iPhone-like phones much better experience:
