Japanese people prefer mobile phones for gaming
Mobile gaming in Japan: A different world indicates the most popular gaming device is the mobile phone. I believe the Western world will move there eventually, but in Japan "the future is already here" (to put it lamely). Also, many more people play video games in Japan (supposedly 90% of those interviewed).
Side note: I don't like the term "video game" as used here, implying a video signal is somehow involved, which it's not in a phone. "Digital games" would be much better.
