What makes a 'real' gaming platform? What does a 'real' gamer look like? How often does a 'real' gamer game? All surveys of gamers over the last 5 years show that the average gamer is female, late twenties to thirty, and puts in gaming hours way above anything your average FPS gamer would. (and the figures from before that were badly skewed by having the 'hearts' players removed for not being 'real gamers' (and some even removed commercial casual games), despite being the overwhelmingly largest group of gamers (arguably, if they'd included them, we might have seen the rise in casual gaming sooner)) The iPhone is the biggest gaming platform in the world. It is also where the main gamers are playing the most hours of games. Isn't that 'real' enough for you?
