I don't care if a game is "mobile"; I care if it runs on one of my devices. Populating gamePlatform is going to be required to make the page meaningful in any context whether we stick with the broad VideoGame or mint a new MobileVideoGame type. As for the Google Custom Search Engine use case, you can use the schema.org type as the first level of search, but then filter those results by structured data attributes (such as gamePlatform). The alternative to using a structured data attribute in Google CSE to limit to the actual platform of interest would be to spawn a bunch of types like AndroidVideoGame, iOSVideoGame, FirefoxOSVideoGame, NintendoDSVideoGame, etc, and I don't think anyone wants that. So, -1 to MobileVideoGame (unless, of course, I'm overlooking something obvious).
