Well, that's what's proven in EA's latest financial report. www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=176488"In a recent financial report for the third quarter of this year, figures revealed that EA made $37 million (around £18m) from mobile gaming, beating by a large margin PS3 profits of $17 (£8m) million. Even the equally portable PSP couldn't match up to mobiles, making EA $21 million (£10m) in the same period."
"Xbox 360, meanwhile, has no problems, raking in a massive $218 million (£106m) of EA's total $640 million (£311m) profit. PS2 comes in second ($73m, £35m), Wii third ($59m, £29m), and DS fourth ($47m, $23m)."Ouch.

Well, that's the joy of a 5 million install base.

Yes, the system with a low install base didn't make much money, shocker!

I wish the games were loaded with advertising and they just gave them out free.

Well Yeah, of course Mobile Phone games will Outbeat PS3 Games, At least half a Billion or even more People have Moblie Phones.
People are backing away from the Price, but in the End, Its money well spent in my opinion.
