Probably his game never sold a single copy on PSN. Thus, in his own small world he thinks Console gaming is dying. What he doesn't realise is that mobile gaming is a completely different genre in itself.

 

Maybe he didn't get any sells from PSN version? Its kinda hard to sell your shovelware in a store full of real games.

 

PlayStation Network Gaining Traction with Casual Market

Posted April 8, 2011 by James Brightman

 

PlayStation Network has seen a ton of growth in recent years, and Sony was more than happy to talk about it on a PlayStation analyst day. Lazard Capital Markets' Colin Sebastian has noted that PSN is quickly becoming a more popular platform for the casual and social market, which should bode well for PS3 broadening its demographics.

 

"Online continues to ramp on PSN. The PSN currently has 75M registered accounts WW (half of which are in NA), with over 1.4B pieces of content downloaded since launch. PSN appears to be gaining traction tapping into the casual and social gaming market with titles such as Angry Birds which is the most downloaded game through the PSN (it was launched in January 2011). PSN is also seeing good success with freemium/microtransaction models," he said.

 

Sebastian noted that Sony's success in bringing more casuals to the PS3's online network could be key for the future growth of the platform. "We think this could be a significant move for PSN because it can allow casual game publishers, in addition to traditional game publishers, to leverage the PS3 as a gaming platform," he said, adding, "We were encouraged by the free-to-play demo of Sodium."

 

Where is your god now? :lol:

Wonder if the success of AB is the start of Apps and facebook games invading XBLA and PSN. Imagine Farmville on XBLA/PSN for 200MSP. I can see it selling quite a bit. Esp when they are competing with full priced games that cost 5-6 times as much.

Time Magazine has placed Peter Vesterbacka, developer of the smartphone game sensation Angry Birds, seventh on its annual list of the world’s 100 most influential people.

 

Vesterbacka heads Rovio, the company that created the unceasingly popular Angry Birds.

 

On the Time Magazine list, he comes in straight after Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg.

 

Vesterbacka scored higher among the top ten than the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the founder of the whistleblowing website Wikileaks, Julian Assange.

 

Readem and weep.

 

:lol:
