Tablets will always be suited to casual games because the input system is so basic. Touch is great for popping bubbles but not much use for 3D games.

This is utter crap; software development is nothing like the traditional manufacturing industry.
Most of the cost of a car is the cost of the raw materials, building it, and shipping it. Whereas in software, you sink umpteen million into R&D and the manufacturing costs are negligible.
The people who actually make the games need paid, or they won't be able to make any more games. When you buy second hand, the people who make the games get nothing.
