I'll just put this here: http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/24/thanks-to-ios-7s-game-pad-s...

They are coming, iOS7 has gamepad support, OUYA has a game controller. This will continue.

Oh I know its coming, but I'm still not 100% convinced its going to work. I cant think of any smartphone game I would want to play on my TV, other than games I wouldn't want to play on my smartphone. There just no overlap.

I would rather have a PS4, XBox or Wii U designed for high quality games using a controller, and then play smartphone games on my phone.

Buying a separate Android or iOS console seems pointless, and plugging a controller into a phone into the tv seems like a fairly convoluted and niche offering.
