This may come as a shock but people do not buy the iPhone's for its games.

The iPhone or any of the Android phones are not aimed at casual gamers, core gamers or hardcore gamers. Games on these devices are merely a bonus addition like having radio on your alarm clock. Nobody will ever look at two phones and go, oh hey lets get an iPhone/Android cause it has better games.

It just won't happen no matter how many articles you write about it.

Yay more "gamers" whining about how bad an Iphone is as a gaming system even though they don't actually own one.

Yeah remind me again where the best versions of Square-Enix handheld games can currently be played...

O that's right on the Iphone. O and you "hardcore" only console gamers feel free to disagree like I know you will. Using your stereotypical tried insults like "it has no buttons dat = no games duh" or "the Iphone is actually popular dat makes anyone who buys it a sheep herp-a-derp-a"

"Yay more "gamers" whining about how bad an Iphone is as a gaming system even though they don't actually own one."

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android phone) and yes i do play games on it, currently playing "My Country".

However it is not a gaming system, it is a phone. It's primary use will always be to communicate with others, not play games.

It will no sooner replace a handheld as it would replace a clock.

Actually the primary use for most smart-phones is browsing the internet. You need to wake up it's not the early 90s phone's aren't only meant for communication any longer.

I have an Iphone 4 (4S doesn't seem improved enough to warrant an upgrade) and as a phone it's all around average it's clearly it's Ipod feature it's App store and web browser that make it exceptional.

Looks like a fun cross play game for consoles.

Mobile only? I hope not, but its Sega so you know that they're clueless.

(*looks over at ChuChu Rocket 2 and Sonic Dream Team being iOS subscription only games *)

You lost me at mobile. I don’t care how “good” a mobile game is they are designed to be time sinks and force you to purchase microtransactions that give you better chances at rare loot/outfits and actually making daily progress. I have Ever Crisis a chance and it lost me hard once you hit the wall. They’re disgusting in that design approach. Too bad, because if it were just a regular game on mobile I might check it out, but I know it’ll be be f*cked by the mobile design money leeching model.

I swear they made more Sonic mobile games than proper home consoles ones nowadays.
If all we're getting this year on consoles is some remastered Sonic Generations with Shadow DLC then that's not a good sign at all.
It shouldn't take Sonic Team 5 years to make a sequel and there was a time they released new games on consoles almost yearly.
I have a feeling they would have to do more spin off games as no one's going to wait that long for a sequel of Sonic game and when do they released them spin offs on mobile, so clueless....
What's stopping them from releasing these small mobile games on consoles for $20?
