The major advantage of RISC is drastically lower power consumption compared to x86. One of the biggest complaints people have with mobile is that the battery runs dry quickly when playing games. Significantly increasing battery life would be a huge win.
I find there are more games than I have time to play already out there, so the actual question is whether the device would have enough games to make it worth it. I mean this is exactly the same problem people have when choosing a game console. Despite consoles having strictly less games than PCs, plenty of people still buy consoles and are perfectly happy with them.

Agreed. However, why would I be happy about having more battery in a device that doesn’t let me run the games/programs that I want to use?
