Usually due to the restrictions mobile devices put onto simulations, they haven't been very practical (lack of screen, keyboard inputs, computing power, etc). Traditional PC flight simulations have tended to stay within their market (ie there is no Microsoft Flight Simulator console version or a DCS for the Nintendo DS). Initially, they were dedicated gaming devices such as the Playstation Portable, but now smartphones can rock out with games like GTA III or Max Payne, not to mention other IPs. Games that were once limited to PC/consoles can now look and play very well on mobile devices. Major gaming IPs such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, or HAWX, already have a presence in PC, Console, Handheld, and Mobile space. And some traditional PC flying simulation developers have decided to expand their Intellectual Properties (IPs) into this new market. In fact, in 2011, half of the computing devices sold were mobile.Įven more interesting is the amount of revenue mobile gaming (defined as gaming on a non-dedicated mobile device like a smartphone or tablet) earns, over 8 billion dollars in 2011.Ģ011 also saw mobile gaming earn more revenue than Sony and Nintendo (PSP and DS) combined.ĭoes this mean PC gaming is dead, of course not.īut it does mean that mobile gaming represents a significant market to be tapped into. Mobile smart devices have become an increasingly integral part of our daily lives.Īnd the numbers suggest they are becoming as important or more so than your computer. More importantly, how many of you use these devices for something other than work? The majority of you do unless the device is company owned (even then that may not stop some of you). Who here has a smartphone? Or a tablet device? Or more and more frequently, one of both? Chances are, especially as a member of this forum, where most discussion is about games based on a computer, you have at least one of what are commonly called "Mobile" devices.
