How is that not a valid metric for choosing a phone? The way I see it, it’s not really any different to choosing a phone for its camera performance or battery life.
I bought the new iPhone 4 for that Infinity Blade sequel on iOS.
Imo that was peak gaming on mobile devices and I’m sad we failed as a society to move into that reality and instead into one where we match fruit and spent $10k to do so.

I never understood the appeal of mobile gaming, especially when there are tons of great games on PC.

I like to keep MyBoy and PSSSP on my.phine for quick little games.
Having Zelda / Pokemon and Wipeout HD in your pocket is great for unexpected long lines.
That’s said I’d never use my phone for serious games and normal phone games are horrible. (RIP Geometry Wars 3 for Android)
