How Android/iOS never reached its potential

It's amazing to think how far we've come, when the same device we use for calling our friends, also plays full-blown 3D video games.
Furthermore, they boast an appstore of millions of games!
Yet in spite of this marvelous breakthrough, there's something rotten in Denmark. You know what it is? The controls. A mobile phone is meant to be small and portable, so analog sticks jutting out are not ideal, so we have compromises

Be it the touch surface of the Xperia or the multi-touch capable screens of the iOS/Android systems.


Sadly, none of these are ideal. They do a fine job for playing a few light-hearted games like Angry Birds but what about our

Assassins Creed equivalent



World Of Warcraft equivalent


Forza equivalent


Mass Effect equivalent


San Andreas equivalent


Elder Scrolls equivalent


Left 4 Dead equivalent


Call Of Duty equivalent


And the list goes on. Hell it's miles ahead of Vita and 3DS in terms of games library.

But how can the gaming experience be worthwhile?
