Mobile Games are the future


Will the next gen. game consoles win or fail? With high price tags, rehashed and souped up games, and $70 a piece for titles...will everyone go mobile? More and more games are being developed for cell phones. There are over 30million cell phones in the US alone and mobile gaming is becoming very popular. With Nintendo and Sony in a battle for handheld's will a cell phone company sneak in under the wire and trump them both. It could very well happen. Old school titles such as like Pac-Man and Dig-Dug continue to sell well on the mobile market. Marc Ecko's new game "Getting Up" is already been translated for cell phone play. And with AOL recently acquiring a mobile gaming company have the major game companies shot them selves in the foot when there's evidence that the market is swinging in a different direction. Already stated this week more College Students have cell phone and play games on them. Also in another report release this week stated that younger kids want games for their PC. And several interactive entertainment veterans most recently from EA's Black Box created a new development studio called Deep Fried ENT. The company will develop titles for the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP. So maybe it's time to see the game developers finally pay attention to the market insted of trying to sell us a new box with old tricks.
