People are going to be spending millions of pounds to play games on their mobiles by next year, say experts. Mobile gaming is seen by many as the next big thing, as phones become more powerful in terms of screen quality, game graphics etc, and come with colour screens.
It has been a very good year for mobile gaming which has seen a boom in the number of phones bought with the gaming quality in mind, and the amount of games that people are downloading on their phones. this has been helped tremendously by the advances involcing internet connections on mobiles. the mobile gaming market is now a multi billion dollar scene.
This is good news for mobile phone companies, which have become increasingly desperate to find ways of getting more money from their subscribers. They are looking at how to get people to do more with their mobiles. this would require a new thought approach on the part of the phone operators, as they are not used to dealing with large quantaties of data. Games for mobiles are different from those played on a PC or a console like the PlayStation 2. They are designed to appeal to people with a few minutes to kill waiting for a train or bus.
In Japan especially, mobile gaming has already proved immensely popular, where people are happy to pay to download relatively simple games that can be played anywhere. The corporations in Japan have seen this as a sign of a worldwide marketing oppertunity and plan to sieze it with both hands.
These included the development of new technology like Java to create for games for mobiles, as well as the spread of new handsets which were effectively small computers. The gaming industry and handset manufacturers have been urged to realise the potential crossover market for their products.
