Mobile Gaming: The future or a phase

Recently mobile gaming has surged in sales whether it be games on your phone, ipad, ipod or whatever else you buy it on.  And now with the introduction of Project Fiona by Razer a tablet that can supposedly run high powered PC games we start to wonder if this is the end of console games.  Now as a more console oriented gamer myself I find the emergence of mobile games as a fad.  Most mobile games really hold no ground with hardcore gamers who expect a strong storyline, detailed graphics, and perhaps the addition of a multiplayer component.  Mobile games clearly don't deliver in these categories however they do have mild entertainment value.  These types of games cater more towards casual game players who like something to do when they have a spare moment every now and then.  With that in mind I really don't believe mobile games will be the end of console or PC games.  They hold no traction with the hardcore gamer and unless they get really good like what Project Fiona offers then we will see them as merely mild amusement for the every day person.
