David Gosen on mobile gaming
Update 20061009: The second part of the interview with David Gosen is now up, so here are direct links to both parts:
I-play's David Gosen - Part 1 - Interview /// MobileIndustry.biz
I-play's David Gosen - Part 2 - Interview /// MobileIndustry.biz
David Gosen is CEO at I-Play, a major provider of mobile games.
Quote: Over the last 25 years, 250 million consoles and handheld devices have been sold, but every year, 800 million mobile phones get sold.
Of course that doesn't mean there are 800M new people using phones every year, but that the market potential is huge for mobile games, and the technology advances fast. Very fast all mobile phones become gaming-enabled (read: support Java ME).
Hopefully the UI of future phones will be better adapted to gaming needs (analog joystick etc), yet still remain optimized for telephony and music.
Mobile must not make same mistakes as consoles, warns Gosen - News /// MobileIndustry.biz
