I've been seeing Phaser a lot. Does anyone know of any commercially successful games built with these HTML5/JS engines? I understand success should have nothing to do w/ framework but certainly there are limitations/struggles of trying to build a non-native game.

I'm basically trying to see if I should bet that mobile browsers will mature enough or if I should simply invest my time in learning native mobile dev

I've played around with Phaser, and I've played around with PhoneGap. Using what you know will always get your further faster than learning native, but there _could_ be performance issues depending on the game.
