Gizmondo games announced
Gizmondo doesn’t want to fade away. In this Gameindustry.biz article they say that they already have 89 titles in pipeline. Pipeline? To me this is almost as if they were saying that they have plans to introduce some titles. For the moment the selection of games for Gizmondo pretty much sucks.
In the article they (Eric Peterson) also say that they are looking into expanding their game assortment. They claim that Gizmondo has all those nice features and present games only take advantage of some. Goal is to combine all the strengths of Gizmondo platform and produce better and more complex mobile games. Plus they have the added benefit of music and video. Now who is going for this?
I advice you to take a good look on the dynamics of the mobile platform markets. Only big money competitors in this arena, capital requirements are huge. General development in any given market is drifting towards oligopoly. Who would like to risk their money going to a field that is already reached general status quo? I have no idea, why Gizmondo is so convinced that this is a good move. To my opinion, what it takes for the G to make it, is that one of the other big three players is going to die.
