According to information from the Rovio boss, Peter Vesterbacka, during the South by Southwest Interactive conference held in Austin (viaVenture Beat), the titles for the console "dying" and innovation is now the exclusive prerogative of mobile games, more "agile and easier to expand than for console products.
Rovio is the developer of Angry Birds, game that has reached 100 million downloads. The title was recently released on the PlayStation Network and will arrive in the coming months on the Wii and Nintendo DS. During his speech, Vesterbacka said he was tired of the label "casual game" and stressed that no one speaks of "casual film." It is not the same opinion, the boss of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, which over the last Game Developers Conference spoke of the risks associated with the model of Apple App Store: "Any game can have a huge success but it is not easy .
Important investments do not guarantee success and now it is hard to even get noticed. The game development is likely to drown. "
