Ex-Nintendo Europe dogsbody David Gosen is predicting that Mobile Gaming will overtake Home Console gaming...

David Gosen, I-play CEO, recently talked to GamesIndustry.biz and has predicted that Mobile Gaming will soon overtake Home Console Gaming. Many Nintendo fans may remember him as the much ridiculed ex-managing director of sales and marketing, a post he left in the summer of 2004.

According to Gosen: "Its reach and multi-functionality positions mobile as the number one mass market entertainment device of the future, rendering console as a platform for a niche audience." Adding that the number of mobile subscribers is forecast to reach 2.8 billion in 2008, he also claimed that mobile games sales are expected to double those of console titles within two years.

Is there any truth to his words? Is Mobile Gaming really the future? Discuss below in our comments section.
