But he admits it’s hard for people to use the apps on a regular basis if it’s just for marketing purpose. – Smart device service just advertising is not enough, it needs to be fun and engaging, connect with what people are talking good about http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-q3-2014-earnings-investor-briefing-roundup/ |
