Like so many things in gaming today, it's a great leap forwards in terms of pricing and popularity and a huge leap into the pit of everlasting despair in terms of game depth and quality.
We have gone from Dungeon Keeper, World of Warcraft and Hearts of Iron III to Mafia Wars and clicky games worth about $2 each.
We'll now have to wait 5 years while the handheld gaming market catches back up to where the PC gaming market was 10 years ago. If it ever does. Gaming is far more popular, but the definition of "gaming" has gotten a lot worse.
