We’ll have coverage of Doug’s mobile games panel but until then we’ll tell you about a different panel covered by Moconews. One of the questions that Moco focused on was “what’s the best selling mobile game of Q4 2008, its genre and key features.” Please don’t say Tetris.
The answers were as follows:
Mike Yuen, senior director of the Gaming group at QUALCOMM Internet Services: �Tetris, multiplayer.�
Jill Braff, SVP, Glu Mobile: �I hope it�s something more exciting than tetris, I hope it�s tied in with something that�s more mobile. I�m going to say it�s an action game.”
Gonzague de Vallois, VP Publishing at Gameloft: �I hope it will be a newer game than maybe the regular Tetris. I think there is hope to create some original IP in our business.�
Gregg Sauter, Director of games publishing, Nokia: �Hoping that by the end of 2008 we�ll have really good viral marketing� and we�ll find a cool little game that we�re passing around and people say you have to play this because it�s fun.”
Sauter also did a small presentation with some Nokia stats. �Some research comes out that sales are flat, revenues are flat�Don�t get hung up on the research. We are a global market�depending on where you ask that and what you ask you�ll get completely different answers.�
