No they can't.

Screen size. You can't play a game like Call of Duty on a small phone screen.

Battery life. In order to put console games on a mobile device the battery would run out too quick. This is what keeps the switch from truly being a portable device. In demanding games the battery barely lasts a couple hours. If you always have to be tethered to a wall, then it's not really a portable device.

Controller: console game controls are complicated. I have not seen anyone come up with a game quality solution for using a full controller with console style games.

These three issues are not easily overcome, in fact it is impossible that mobile devices ever can/will overcome them.
:gucci: you plug the device in, and hook it up to a controller and a TV

Post a failed device as proof of mobile gaming taking over consoles brehs :smh:

I never said mobile would over take consoles...if you'd fukking read. I said they'd change the landscape and overtake handhelds. I also said the Switch, which is NOT a failure, is an indicator of Nintendo basically cutting their losses (if they had any) on handheld. I said also that because of this consoles (as they are made now) would change because of this trend.

At no point did I say mobile would over take console.

Reading. Is. Fundamental.

Then it is no longer a portable gaming device.
my point is it's one device that could do all this

I'm not trying to say that mobile gaming is gonna take over. I'm just saying that in the future it won't be necessary to buy all these separate machines to play video games. we're already seeing smart TV's with capabilities to play some games. but I'm not saying things will necessarily go in that direction either. just that there's already efforts to consolidate all this tech, plus the ability to do more with less space as tech evolves

One device "could" do it. Sure the technology has been available for decades. The reason it hasn't been done and I don't think it will goes back to the priorities/foucus of the manufacturer. There is no incentive for apple to spend significant money putting console capabilities and content on their phones, just like there's no incentive for Sony to put a phone or Microsoft office on their PlayStation devices.

The markets are separate enough that both can and do serve their customers needs without chasing after the other market.

I think there will always be dedicated gaming devices. They may look different or there may be less of them going forward, but I don't think we will ever get to a place where you buy an iPhone 15 to replace your PC and your console.

Landscape has not changed. People are buying more consoles today than they did in the past when mobile gaming wasn't a thing.

Nintendo had no losses to cut with the 3ds it was a VERY successful device and continues to be very successful despite mobile gamings popularity.

The switch is a response to the 3ds success, not the success of mobile games.

apparently consoles are a dedicated pornhub device :skip:

these are all minor distinctions IMO. my point is people are trying to say that 'mobile' gaming is very different because of reasons that can easily be overcome

I think the strongest argument is that these console makers fund exclusive games. but I think that is also an antiquated model, since it's been shown that there's plenty of money to be made with multiplat games, and even self-published games
That's a reach at best bruh :stop:
An indie game has a better chance at being successful on PC than Madden NFL 18. Yes you can point to 1 indie dev out of every 10,000 that made a hit. Can't ignore my Madden comment because somebody created angry birds.
Doesn't matter how long and with who the game is popular with. The only thing that matters, in this context, is market trends and dollars and cents. Not if you a G or not. The CONSUMERS have already shown that mobile gaming is the fastest growing and most lucrative sector of the gaming market. Just because you are not in that demographic doesn't mean the numbers aren't real. You say you are a gamer and you know whats popular but the data is totally contrary to your point. I'm not fukking around here with opinions. I'm going off facts and where the MONEY is going. Simple as that...and the MONEY says mobile gaming will continue to grow.

Again, take YOU and how YOU play games out of it and look at the data....and if you aren't going to look at evidence presented then back the fukk down when a true adult argument is brought to you. Don't bring some experiential bullshyt trying to evoke some "real gamer" image.




Way to not add anything substantive to the conversation, breh. :obamapoint:
I am a real gamer, and since you wanna have a convo, sit your dumbass down & let's continue :ufdup: All you are saying is mobile gaming makes money. You all emotional about that so you think we ever debated that :sitdown: you think because of that all of gaming will gravitate to that.

But you don't game on mobile, so you understand damn well how that isn't the future of gaming. Will gaming be portable in the future? Probably as technology shrinks its only naturalthat it'll be on the go, virtual and augmented realities.

Now you being app eager to be right will take that as you are correct once phones introduce AR but you'd still be wrong. Unless FPS games are AR ready, then don't expect this shift you talking about to happen anytime soon. Maybe in 2030 we can revisit. If you don't agree then what's your excuse...

Madden is a multiplatform game though. it's not on PC for various reasons, but it could be

First off, where is this "people said Pokemon go wouldn't work" coming from? Who told you Pokemon anything wouldn't work? Slap that nikka and his mama :stop:

2ndly, it's like you ignored what I said because your opinion is so strong. But let me reel you back in. You yourself don't game on mobile, the reason for that is the reason why you're incorrect :ld:

We all are aware that candy crush is popular amongst woman, worldwide, and it works on all models of cellphones so that is why it does so well. Because it's a game You can play for 5min or 50min but you'd only play it on your phone. Nobody would be playing candy crush on a console tho, use logic bruh.

I didn't look at the list because I'm a gamer so I already know what's popular. It ain't console styled games. Just because a bytch wants to play candy crush and her kid wants to catch them all does not mean the 1-200 million console gamers wanna know game on the go. I feel foolish gaming outside of my living room, but I'm a G, I fukk bytches, smoke blunts, scratch my balls then will give my fingers the smell test :ehh:only way I'm gaming on the go is if it's in AR
:mjlol:

But what happened to u speaking in one liners motherfukker
