Global Subscriber Growth Expected for Both Free and Subscription-Based Online Gaming Services
Research and Markets has announced the addition of "Online Gaming: Worldwide Subscriber Growth Expected for Both Free and Subscription-Based Online Services" to their offering.
In 2007, the video game console market represented one of the most popular segments in the consumer electronics industry. Nintendo launched the Wii to frenzied consumer demand, and Sony completed the launch of its PlayStation 3. Microsoft's Xbox 360 now faces legitimate competition from both these companies. The handheld gaming console market is also exhibiting growth. While Microsoft does not offer a handheld console, both Nintendo and Sony enhanced their handheld lineups this year.
In order to recoup the high costs associated with console manufacturing, Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have turned to online gaming either to generate additional revenue streams or to promote brand loyalty. Subscriber growth is expected in both paid and free online services over the forecast period.
