The poster either doesn't know jack about the gaming ecosystem or is an employee of the so called plugin developing company. Its not 2D v/s 3D, its good game v/s lousy game. Its all about the gameplay! Unfortunately, a lot of people naively associate 3D with better gaming experience. See what happened to Sony who tried to go for killer graphics capability on the PS3 v/s Nintendo who didn't care much for the latest greatest graphics capability, but instead went for the user experience. In addition, the so called "Flash puzzlers" have a fast turn around development cycle, cost way less than 3D game development, are ultra-lite, and therefore have much better economic viability. (Even if your game flops, you don't end up losing a LOT). In short, NO, nobody is going to forget about the Flash puzzlers as the poster proclaims.

I think you hit the nail at the right place! While all these posts have been comparing cellphone models and "plans" to those available in Japan, perhaps some insight into the into the cellphone market of a non-first world country like India might help open some eyes (or ears).

My monthly plan has a rental of Rs. 300 (~ $7.5). Any call that I make to anyfreakinwhere in the country costs me ONE RUPEE PER MINUTE (2c/min). Any calls that are made to my cellphone cost me nothing... zip... NCOMING CALLS TO ALL CELLPHONES IN INDIA IS FREE! Any text messages that I send are again one rupee per message (2c/message). Needless to say, all incoming messages are free. You only get charged for incoming calls and messages when you are roaming, which is again 2c/min or 2c/msg. They call it the ONE INDIA PLAN. And its not just my service provider, all major service providers in India offer this plan.

There is also a concept of LIFETIME PRE PAID plans in India where you just pay a one time fee that is as little as Rs. 400 (~$10), and you get a cellphone number and a SIM card for life. If you choose not to make any calls but only receive them, you don't have to shell out a paise (or a penny) for life. You can credit to that account by purchasing scratch cards available at your grocery story in denominations of as little as $2.25. The tariff for these plans are of course higher... at 4c/min for local and 8c/min for long distance calls. And again, all major Indian service providers offer these plans.

As far as handsets go, you get to choose from those that cost as little as $25 and as high as your Nokia $1000+ 18 carat gold Sirocco or the most tech savvy O2 handsets. And because of the GSM technology, there is a huge market for second-hand or used cellphones in India. And because phones depreciate even quicker than your latest laptop, you can get a really feature loaded and cool looking handset for a third of its price within months of its launch. I don't have to be tied to any particular carrier because of some stupid 2-year plan! I'm dissatisfied by the service, I just switch over to another service provider. And it costs me nothing!
And you get coverage even in a lot of rural parts of the country as well! (Mind you is 1/3rd the size of continental USA). So not many "can you hear me nows"...

All of this has been popular through some fierce competition, some very thoughtful government regulation and some very adamant and rigid / demanding culture of the Indian consumer. So there you have it. Total independence and democracy. In a country thats nowhere as advanced as Japan or the United States.
