They don't have to come up with free to play titles, the idea is that all future games are shared across all device in any given ecosystem. If you buy Grand Theft Auto or The Last of Us for PlayStation, it works on PS4/PS5/PS Phone. If you buy NBA 2K or Halo 6 from Microsoft it works on Xbox, Surface devices, and Windows PC. If you by Fifa or Pokemon for Nintendo it will play on Switch or Switch Phone. It is all about extending the value of the software you are already going to purchase, and expanding the software you may purchase due to having it avaialbe at home and on the go. Additional free to play would be a good addition for the wider audience, but the aim would be to get the more than 200 Million people that are already buying AAA games each year to move from iOS and Android. The casual people that are only playing F2P on mobile and Facebook are not the target audience, but some may be drawn to the platform. As I said, the door is open for any company to go after the premium mobile gaming market. No one has built a legitimate Mobile gaming platform to date. We have only have compromised Handhelds, or compromised Phones. The market is their for the taking. It is not a market that is going to contend with iOS and Android in sheer market volume, but it is an extreamly high profit market with a large enough consumer pool to make a very nice profits for the company or companies that take advantage of it. |
Yeah, because all casual gamers who play games on phone suddenly spend $60 for PS phone games while they didn't even spend $5 for a game on phone, all they play are free to play games. But yeah, i believe it will happen because you said so
