That’s better than 5 years ago when it was just ”a couple of hundred million”, and it’s still growing ”leaps and bounds”. In your face cinema!
”Conservatively, if I add up mobile users that play games, social network people that play games, people that play PC games online in Asia, all this stuff, this new audience: there’s at least a billion people gaming today, compared to a couple of hundred million just five years ago,” bossman Riccitiello told NBR in an interview, reports VG247.
“So we have five times the audience we’ve ever had and it’s growing in leaps and bounds. And it’s no longer a niche.” It’s all that digital rise that’s going on, it’s brought a “torrent of new consumers” to the industry, making up 40% of the business he says.
It’s about time we showed up those snooty movie theatres and their fancy ‘artistic’ film studios. Now it’s us who throw them scraps, like Prince of Persia and Gears of War.
