"There's all this talk about the next generation of consoles, but the next generation in gaming is in the mobile platform." Gameloft has a multiyear license for "M:I-3," which means future iterations are likely. The first game will employ 2-D graphics and follow the film's basic plot line."</i><br /><br />Any Tom Cruise or M:I fans here? Does you really care that this game is hitting cell phones first? Personally, I don't think that consoles compete with cell phones when it comes to gaming. On my cell phone, I want a light weight game that I can pick up and play at any time. For my console, I much prefer to sit down for an extended period of time and play. Maybe it's just me.
