This article reminded me, that I did pay $60 for madden on the PS3 last weak, after some Android game reminded me that football games are actually quite fun. The problem was not, that there was anything wrong with the Android game, in fact it is very well designed, the problem was the tablet platform. Especially that for a action game one needs an interface with haptic feedback, such that the interface is just there without looking for the image of a button on a touch screen. Theoretically it would be possible to attach a controller to the tablet, but what kind of controller? Four buttons, 6, 8? With an D pad? So the game makers do not have a clear target for development of an interface. Furthermore already for consoles we know that any additional hardware, like a Kinect, multiplies the target market by a rather small fraction. ( And a tablet is simply too small to have a dedicated controller.) This is of course not saying that there is no market for tablet games, but that consoles ( and of course also PCs) will have a place in any future gaming landscape. Simply because the interface devices are better suited for action games.
