Mobile Games To Overtake Console Revenues in 2015

2014-12-22T05:00:00.000+00:00

Mobile games to overtake console revenues in 2015 -- and Apple's revenue could double Nintendo's | GamesBeat | Games | by Dean Takahashi: "The console business has ruled gaming for years. But its reign may officially end next year. The mobile game business is expected to surpass console games in revenue in 2015, according to Newzoo. The market-research firm said that mobile games will hit $30.3 billion in 2015, up from $25 billion in 2014. Newzoo’s latest quarterly estimates are more optimistic than in the past, following strong year-to-date growth in both mature and emerging markets, for smartphone and tablet games. Amsterdam-based Newzoo is more optimistic about mobile games than rival SuperData Research, which predicts that mobile games will hit $21.1 billion in 2014. By 2017, mobile games are expected to top $40 billion."

2014-11-16T05:00:00.000+00:00

Mobile gamers' spending and behavior--A new study from Everyplay, the mobile-sharing division of game engine marker Unity, reveals who spends the most on mobile games and how they find new games to play.--

Mobile gamers' spending and behavior highlighted in new study - Mobile Marketing - BizReport: "A very small percentage of mobile gamers account for the majority of all spending. Called 'Super Whales' this group of mobile gamers makes up just 1% the player base yet accounts for 29% of all revenues, found Everyplay's survey of 3,000 U.S. mobile gamers on both Android and iOS devices.
Super Whales "love competitive games, listen to their friends' game recommendations, and want to play games that let them socialize with their friends. They love watching and sharing gameplay video, often share to Facebook and YouTube, and download more games per month than the average user." Apart from the Super Whales, those spending the most on mobile games are male and aged between 35 and 44. Among this age group the average monthly spend on mobile games is $6.07 with the next highest-spending age group those 45 years old and over ($4.79)...." (read more at the link above)

Mobile App Install Ads, a Huge Deal

2014-10-05T05:00:00.000+01:00

Why Mobile App Install Ads Are Suddenly Such a Huge Deal - CMO Today - WSJ: "... Mr. Edri sees a Facebook mobile ad network as ideally timed, and plenty of room for Yahoo, Twitter and others, assuming their ad environments prove as suitable to downloading games as Facebook’s. “They all have first party data, and that’s key,” said Mr. Edri. “And it’s not like you have to go and sell to these game companies. They’ll go and test anyone.” As for the other big question, given the way that social gaming collapsed on Facebook (see Zynga’s struggles in recent years), can this party last? Or won’t mobile gaming eventually peter out? Or will these companies run out of high spending whales? Not surprisingly, gaming experts say no. “I don’t think so,” said Mr. Driver. “There is still a huge segment of the market that is not playing games at all right now but will be in the future. The smartphone and tablet markets are still growing rapidly. You’ll see this market grow for years to come.” Mr. Edri said he could see the market eventually becoming saturated, but not any time soon. Plus, there are two million apps in Apple’s app store alone, meaning to get noticed, game developers have to market their games or risk getting lost. One strange side effect of all this game money. Big brands may find themselves shut out of some key mobile ad inventory. “Brands are just getting introduced to mobile, and we’ve just now seen some demand.” But as for brands paying more for mobile ads than ROI-obsessed game companies. “I don’t see it happening,” Mr. Edri said."

Stonehenge was a Circle

2014-09-28T05:00:00.000+01:00

Stonehenge was circular? Well, blow me down | Art and design | theguardian.com: "... Stonehenge may have been a complete stone circle after all. People who work at the site noticed something that has passed professional archaeologists by: traces of two vanished stones. Though they had watered the rest of the site throughout the hot summer, their hosepipe was too short to reach an outer section of the enclosed area on Salisbury Plain. As the ground dried up, the Stonehenge staff saw distinctive parch marks that turned out to be tell-tale signs of the lost megaliths. This is a great day for amateur archaeologists. Enthusiastic, untrained eyes have discovered something really significant... For Stonehenge is not the only stone circle raised in Neolithic Britain. The village of Avebury in Wiltshire is surrounded by a vast stone circle as well as a huge circular earthwork. There’s no question the stones at Avebury form a circle. So do those at Stenness, Orkney, at the other end of the British Isles. These “Henge” monuments and others around Britain are so consistently circular that the existence of circles must surely be part of their meaning. The geometric feat of mapping out a circle, presumably using pegs and cord, was no mean achievement for a pre-literate people. Many prehistoric mounds like Silbury Hill near Avebury are also circular. Are all these cosmic circles meant to mirror the shapes of the sun and moon as they look to the naked pre-scientific eye?..."
