I 100% agree with it being an excuse. I think children play more on their phones than they do gaming consoles, portable or otherwise (with an exception to maybe the Nintendo Wii U). Even so, I feel like that they would lose a lot of sales by going mobile. I know for me I refuse to buy any phone app. Mostly because it's a Phone... and there's a limit on how much a phone can hold GB wise, not to mention destroying battery life and the phone data if a person doesn't have unlimited or cannot connect via wi-fi. I was really looking forward to Fantasy Life 2, but seeing as it's for the mobile, I won't be able to enjoy it. I much rather see future titles be released to the 3DS or even for the Playstation because I know they release games for Nintendo and Playstation; and if they think the game is more "adult based" then perhaps release to the Playstation next time because I don't know any children that play with their gaming consoles. They might own it, but they're constantly on their phones so their consoles gather dust.
