Every phone so far that has attempted to be a gaming console has been a failure.
You may have heard of the iPhone?
A personal definition of failure (meaning you don't like it) has no applicability outside of you. The iPhone is an extremely successful handheld game console, and as of the latest generation, in concert with Apple TV, can be a traditional console as well.
Just because Slashdot nerds have the (utterly unreasonable) expectation that they are so right that everyone else should shut up doesn't mean that the rest of the world is under any obligation to follow along.
The comments in this thread are interesting, to say the least. All manner of Android fans reading all manner of things not said, and responding with FANBOY FURY.
I know! Let's just demand those who have already succeeded take care of us! That way we don't have to do anything at all. We can all sleep in a park to make this happen. It's BRILLIANT.
I suppose if you start from the supposition that you have no chance, things would seem a lot more bleak, but I'm not sure how much credit you want for giving up before you've even tried. No one gives points for that.
Can you explain to me how allowing people to copy something wholesale is innovation, whereby enforcing a framework that causes people to come up with new ways of achieving things stifles invention? I have such a hard time understanding this, particularly in light of the fact that the technology marketplace is thriving, larger than ever, and showing no signs of slowing down.
The real answer is that there is no fair way to support the weak, but people are sentimental and insist on it for "reasons" that have no reason behind them.
When those who can't keep up are left behind, the group is collectively made stronger. When those who lead are forced to slow down to keep the weak from feeling bad, we all lose.

Serious question despite the trolling tone: Are you "everyone is a shill" guys in a guild of retards or something?
Oh, well that counts in the real world at all...
They weren't your friends, you just had weed.
You don't have to understand the preferences of other people, just acknowledge they exist and move on.
Here's where you've missed the most important lesson the US had to teach the world - you're only ruled by those you accept ruling you.
The historic European model of being the chattel of your leaders is of course a barrier to accepting this.
You should try sleeping in the park to make that happen. Apparently that's the new "fight back."
And hey, "if you build it, they will come" worked in that movie, right? So let's just force people to pay for this. They have enough money anyway.

What does being first to market mean? How many pre-Google search engines do people bother using today?
There's nothing quite like a person ignorantly admitting ignorance to make me laugh out loud.
This is the world where sleeping in the park is the method to achieve greater corporate accountability.
It's not so much cognitive dissonance as utter lack of cognition.

Fun stuff!
If noone can't do it, no one can.
Well, we should give up without trying, I guess.

I highly suspect that your anecdotal evidence is worth the paper you wrote it on.
I find your faith in authority disturbing
Probably because the pirates grasp the advantages of free entertainment and refuse to pay for stuff, so the publishers hope to make that painful?
Doesn't work, of course, but at least it's fun to watch everyone on all sides shit in the well and then complain that the water tastes funny...
You mean atmospheric models aren't perfect predictors of atmospheric phenomena? DENIERS!
All the time, and winning, at that.

You should watch with the arrogant phrasing when your point is so stupid. It makes you look twice as foolish.
One might ask "why bother to hire a xenophobe who has given up on competing because things aren't handed to him?"

Apparently you're confusing freedom with free entertainment. Happens a lot in the piracy community.
