Sega complain that handset manufacturers are stopping mobile game growth

Sega COO, Mike Haynes, has complained that the mobile games industry is waiting for handset manufacturers to release the necessary technology to enable next generation games to be played on them.

While Sega are still currently releasing mobile games, most notably, the ever popular Football Manager series, Haynes insists that mobile game development will not see a significant increase in growth until handset manufacturers release technology that is capable of playing next-generation games up to the standard to the Nintendo DS.
