You always have your phone on you.
When I leave the house I check to see if I have my keys, wallet and phone.
It’s a personal device. Most people havepersonalised the ringtone and theme. Haveall their friends numbers, and maybepictures of their family.
People have an Affinity to their phone.
Reason 1

The games can be played anywhere.
They can be played while waiting for a bus,or while in transit.
This is literally miles away from the traditionalconsole couch potato.
Reason 2

Reason 3
The best mobile games are designed for short sessions of play. Ideally a game can be played in 10 to 15 minute periods.

Reason 4
Open Platform - Anyone can develop any J2ME game or application they want to. Just download the tools and sdk’s and away you go.
Other games platforms are closed, you need to be a registered developer to get access to the development tools and devices.
Compete against the platform holders titles.3rd Q 2007, Wii 14 > Million, 11 were from Nintendo.For DS, 50 > Million, 28 were from Nintendo.

Reason 5
Digital Distribution - No boxed product.
Games are loaded onto the phone by:
Over The Air (OTA), via a link. The link can be received in an SMS or clicked on in a WAP/Web page.
Side Loaded. The game is downloaded onto a PC and then transferred via cable or Bluetooth to the phone.

Reason 6
Cheap to purchase - £3.00 to £5.00Pocket Money prices, compared to console.
Also relatively cheap to develop. The cost incurred in developing for a J2ME mobile phone is FAR less than for a handheld console.
Developed apps from £20,000 up to £110,000.

Reason 7
Diversity of product.
Consoles are dominated by the defined genres of Racing, Sports, & Shootem-up’s.
Since the Mobile game playing audience is more diverse (52% women) this allows new andoriginal ideas to flourish.
