I think mobile games may have more advance features like better graphics and sound than current handheld consoles like the Nintendo 3DS and PSP Vita in the future now that there are Google Android emulators like Bluestacks and operating systems like Remix OS which let you run mobile games at faster speeds on a powerful Gaming PC.

Some mobile game makers, and mod makers may see that there are users playing their games on very powerful computers, and devices and create mods to make a mobile game's graphics look nicer when played on a powerful PC, faster smartphone like the iPhone 7, or tablet like the iPad Pro or Microsoft Surfacebook tablet which has a lot of storage, and faster CPU and video chips which can handle higher quality video games at higher resolutions like 720P and above.
 
Don't they already for a select few?

I think there are some PC Ports like Doom 3, Half-Life 2, and console ports like Grand Theft Auto 3, and Assassin Creed for mobile which look better than most 3DS games. There are also a lot a few original mobile games like Dead Trigger which look very good, and seem to have better graphics than 3DS games.

I think more mobile games are starting to look better and have more features than some Vita games made by smaller developers since there are not a lot of triple A games like Call of Duty games for Vita, and many of the games for Vita are independent/indie, and older games ported to the Vita.
 
I still prefer the games that I have on my 3DS over the games that I have on my mobile. Yeah, the games on my phone are okay when it comes to entertaining yourself for a few minutes while you are standing in line somewhere. But if I want something that I can play for a while then I'm going to go with my 3DS.

I think if you have the right mobile gaming accessories like a physical game controller or keyboard and mouse connected to your phone or tablet, and good games like Shadow Gun, Dead Trigger, Asphalt 8, Gangster Vegas, Need for Speed No Limit, and older console ports like Grand Theft Auto 3, Street Fighter, etc, it is possible to entertain yourself for longer amounts of time on a phone or tablet by picking better games, and using controller accessories which are compatible with mobile devices.

But, I feel the stories and characters in some mobile games are not as good as traditional games on consoles and handhelds because mobile game companies don't spend enough time or money on hiring good writers and editors to create a better story with better characters which has more emotions, and are more in-depth.

Mobile games seem to be mostly quick games like hack and slash games with little plot, and simpler characters.

That's usually why I don't play games for very long on my phone. They are just quick games that someone just threw together and didn't spend much time actually making it.

Besides, I'm not going to spend the extra money buying all of the accessories to play games on my phone. That's not what I bought my phone for. The main purpose of my phone is to be able to call someone in the event of an emergency, like if I'm broke down on the side of the road.

I know that it is possible to use some controller made for the PS3, PS4, or use a PC keyboard and mouse to play games on a phone, or tablet by using a button mapping app, so for a lot of gamers who own a more recent console, they don't need to spend any extra money to play games with a controller or keyboard and mouse from a PC

A lot of $20-50 wireless Bluetooth controllers work for different operating systems like Windows, Android, iOS, Linux, and some consoles, so you can use them on your phone and other devices you own.
 
Possibly at some point, though I think a lot of mobile games will forever be limited by the fact that controllers are still a niche thing for playing them on. As a result, they have to be designed so they can also be played on a standard touch screen, which significantly limits/changes the design possibilities. That's why you get so many 'casual' games on mobile devices. Cause they work for both people with and with controllers or keyboards.
