iPhone will soon become a Mobile Gaming Force
Posted on 2008 under iPhone Duniya, iPhone GAMES | No CommentI am not saying this. BusinessWeek is of this opinion and present its conviction in this post “Apple: Soon to Be a Mobile Gaming Force” - Watch out, Sony and Nintendo; overnight, the maker of the iPhone is making a mark on the handheld gaming industry. Very cool analysis and after reading this one, I believe more in what I always believed - iPhone games are definitely not for casual gamers. It has the best of games under its belt and can be compared with PSP or Nitendo games for sure. We got to just wait for another 3-6 months and PSP and Nitendo gamers are going to latch onto iPhone platform based games. The biggest factor being, the iPhone OS is as powerful as PSP or Nitendo and also the price factor. Where else can you get the best of car games and shooting games for as less as $0.99?
Let me now get back to this article on Business Week. iPhone for hardcore gamers is surely nothing less than magic. You can even make calls when you get tired of playing these games
Over to BusinessWeek’s analysis:
iPhone games are immersive, addictive fun. And it’s now readily apparent to me that the iPhone and iPod Touch are well on their way to becoming an important force in handheld gaming. When you consider the ease and reach of Apple’s online method for distributing games, Apple could do in this category what it did in online music, causing big headaches for the genre’s established players, Sony and Nintendo.
- Apple’s Gaming Advantages - The iPhone maker is also holding its own when it comes to units sold. Based on sales data and analysts’ projections, Apple is on track to sell an easy 40 million devices or more a year that are capable of playing games
- Apple’s Impact on the Gaming Industry - A survey by iSuppli’s ConsumerTrak found that U.S. cell-phone users report spending less than 3% of phone-use time on games. But that average shoots up considerably to more than 9% on the first iPhone and 6% on the iPhone 3G.[via - BusinessWeek]
