This is fairly easy to explain:

- Just about EVERYONE has a "smart phone" and/or a tablet these days
- Casual 'time wasters' on mobile are popular - pick-up/sit-down easy games
- Game 'clients' or even full games can be compiled to run on mobile devices
- The REAL factor is 'microtransactions' which on mobile games can 'nickel & dime' a player to death
