I believe I said, “people who never see a PS3.” And I said Africa and China, but in any case I didn’t imply that everyone in Africa and China would never see a PS3, but even those who never see a PS3 will see games on their phones.

The point is that there will be more mobile phone users in these markets than PS3 owners. Of course there are already more mobile phone users in America than PS3 owners, and probably MOST PS3 owners are mobile phone users.

But the point remains that while some people will never own a PS3, Wii, Xbox, PC, Atari, whatever, they can still play games on their mobile phones. For that reason mobile phone gaming will grow.

Andy is short sighted. The mobile game market may be small in the US, but what about China, India and Africa? In Africa and China the mobile phone will allow people who NEVER see a PlayStation3 (let alone a PS2 or PS1) to play games. There WILL be growth in mobile phones for gaming because of these markets.

I am in the Mobile Game Industry since 2002 and I can tell you that there is no “potential” growth - perhaps a little growth. 10% play mobile games - this is the same number that we had in 2004 - so where is the growth? Most of the people don’t play games on their mobile becaue of a small screen - lack of sound in public. Yes, the iPhone will probably change this - but there can’t be a bigger screen - only a higher resolution - but this will not enhance the viewing experience in gaming - your pixel hero gets smaller and smaller.
