I play simple "video games" on my phone, but I don't have a console anymore. I think games can be a useful diversion. I play games on my phone when I am on a plane or waiting somewhere where I have to sit down.
I also think as phones get bigger & more powerful gaming will get better on phones, so I wouldn't categorically call them bad or unnecessary. They do provide an entertaining way to pass the time.
