I can't think of many fun games for Android. What are we paying for? Old Final Fantasy and GTA3? I don't see a market for this until their games improve which is nontrovial given the poor graphics performance of these so called consoles.

I've pretty much settled on just buying Humble Bundles to get new Android games. On iOS I'm much more willing to take chances especially on trusted sources like toucharcade.com that I haven't found an equivalent for.

For graphics performance I really think we reached a point years ago that these devices are capable of that are more than enough for most people.

Are you comparing an XBOX to an Android phone? Android is an OS, not a hardware platform. It can be deployed to arbitrarily powerful hardware, so long as the graphics drivers are written.

There are few games and the hardware is crap compared to a console. Doesn't look like it is changing.
