  Actually the death of social gaming probably will benefit Japan as a whole just like the death of Facebook would be generally be beneficial to the US.

  Apple actually does design their own chips for the iOS line. This is why they perform so well the OS and hardware are very tightly coupled. I’m not an apple fan boy but just about every other tablet generally feels somewhat clunky compared to the ipad.
