The average budget phone today is more powerful than even a Vita. Hell, there are even high-end phones more powerful than a Switch.
>>33475853>freemium game was downloaded a lotTo surprise of nobody.
It seems like you don't understand the mobile audience is different. They don't like paying more than $10 for games. Hell, they don't like paying for games AT ALL.
They see that the game says FREE and they download it.
All the money is made through microtransactions and all that bullshit. Pokemon GO, Shuffle, Magikarp Jump, Duel, all the same freemium shit riddled with microtransactions.
Now imagine how a mainline Pokemon would be on the smartphone scene. They won't sell it full price because no one would buy it. That's just not how the smartphone market works.
They would have to sell it for extremely cheap, and pump it up with microtransactions as well.
Meanwhile, on the Switch, it costs $60 and the gamer audience doesn't give a fuck, because they are perfectly fine with paying for full price games like they have always done.
