Legendary developer John Carmack has said that he believes mobile gaming will rule the industry within a few years.
The creator Doom and Quake seems mobile devices becoming so powerful and popular that they completely overshadow traditional consoles.
"It's unquestionable that within a very short time, we're going to have portable cell phones that are more powerful than the current-gen consoles," Carmack said of the situation.
"People have exaggerated the relative powers - the iPad2 is not more powerful than the 360. It's still a factor of a couple weaker. But the fact that it's gotten that close that fast - that means that almost certainly, two years from now, there will be mobile devices more powerful than what we're doing all these fabulous games on right now."
Carmack is currently finishing up on Rage, and will then move on to the team producing Doom 4.
