And I probably care only if it's on PC. Or XBox360, since I have one somewhere. If enough stuff comes out on tiny-screen devices, I might start looking for a textbook to Learn to Stop Worrying and Love the Mobile.
But it would probably be financial suicide to not release on console.
From what I've seen on the boards, it's actually a kick in the wallet to release on consoles. One of the things that initially held up the release patches on the 360 (before Crave went belly-up) was M$ charging $40K per patch to release on the 360. Apparently Sony does the same thing. That's why releases are so intermittent, bugs go un-fixed even more than on Mobile/PC platforms.
And that's why I migrated to PC for TPA. Glad I did, especially now that Zaccaria has been greenlit for steam. I don't think mobile is a good platform for anything other than "match-3" or RTS games. As a retro-gaming fan, I will say the classics do not translate well to mobile systems. Too bad mobile is the wave of the gaming future.
Mobile is fine for music, tv/movies on the go, and, um, well, phone service, but not for gaming IMO.
