Cell Phones, The New Handheld Gaming Console?

With more and more mobile games being developed and not being necessarily bad (providing that you have a good phone), the mobile gaming market is blooming each day.

While it may not be compared to the market that the DS and PSP bring, it still is a profitable and promising future market because virtually everyone owns a cell phone, and with newer and powerful cell phones such as the iPhone and the iNSTINCT, mobile game development is also becoming easier.

One of the benefits in this area is that cell phones are becoming vast multimedia and communication machines, something that most portable consoles lack. There are also thousands of different phone models in circulation, and with a cellular phone being a necessity these days, everyone will probably be tempted to download at least one game in their phone to keep them a little busy everywhere they go.

While it may not catch up to the handeld gaming market yet, it has the potential to overcome them in a near future...

So the question is:

Do you think mobile cell phone gaming will replace standard gaming soon? Even the unparalleled market success of the DS and the PSP?!
