Price
This may be the obvious answer. Smartphone and tablet games often cost a fraction of what console games do. A typical Xbox or PlayStation game costs $50. That’s far from the .99 cents you just spent on a portable game.
It hurts more when you can’t return a $50 game you picked out. If you play the game and beat it within an hour, what’s next? Mobile offers better value.

A “no kidding” response again. People have more smartphones and tablets. Globally, smartphones number hundreds of millions, dwarfing gaming consoles in households.
Nowadays, smartphones are the phone of choice. Games are available for Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry, and iOS. Additionally, you can now play most Xbox or PlayStation games on Android or iOS.
In your pocket, purse, or pocketbook, your phone is always close at hand. Seeing your doctor while killing zombies on your phone is the best.
Tablets and smartphones are portable. In gaming, this is a winning combination.
Now what? Try the Ouya or Shield from NVidia. With Android, games are being revolutionized. The shield is a 5″-inch touch screen and controller, so you can play games on your phone or tablet. Ouya, on the other hand, is more like a console with a controller, but it connects to Google Play and lets you play Android games on your TV.
Mobile devices and games are much cheaper and more accessible around Christmas time.
You can play the games you purchase on your NVidia Shield or Ouya device on your smartphone or tablet as well.
Gaming on mobile devices is on the rise and evolving rapidly!
