According to the former president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, Phil Harrison, the criticism of the boss of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, the social games are "wrong." During the Game Developers Conference, Iwata had called at risk the future of game development because of the proliferation of production to low-cost services such as Apple's App Store.
Harrison, co-founder of London Venture Partners and financier of role-playing co-op for Gunshine browser, however, does not agree with the thinking of the boss of Nintendo. "Iwata-san has done a tremendous job for the reconstruction of Nintendo in recent years," said Harrison IndustryGamers.
"It's a great leader but in this case is wrong." "If you think that the social game is a fad destined to go wrong. Social networks, such as methods of reinforcement of the games and entertainment, are not destined to disappear." "I found it curious that while Iwata spoke, Steve Jobs was introducing iPad 2," says Harrison.
"For the future, some say 50, 80 million 'SmartPad' sold per year. There will be an incredible market, which will clear any other segment.
