Over half of all iOS apps sold are games. RAGE HD and Infinity Blade are best selling titles, grossing millions.
That's not to say gaming is the answer for Windows Phone, I'm simply objecting to the notion that mobile OSes don't have anything to offer to serious gamers.
- wvenable 15y agoYes, it wasn't my intention to imply that mobile OSes don't have anything to offer serious gamers. It was more that serious gamers don't have much to offer to mobile OSes. While people who have phones buy games, I don't think they'd buy a phone just for that -- at least not in quantities enough to make it viable strategy.
- Samuel_Michon 15y agoI agree, the percentage of smartphone buyers who are serious gamers must be in the single digits. I have no clue how MS could improve Windows Phone so that it will attract iOS and Android users. I also don't see how manufacturers of dumb phones would choose Windows Phone over Android, unless they're offered large sums of cash (like Nokia). IMHO, Windows Phone is screwed.
