The explosion of virtual goods is incredible and what casual/social gaming (like Farmville and the likes) has done is a seismic shift to the gaming market. Games like that have made gaming accessible. There are the critics who say casual/social gaming isn’t really gaming and the ports to smartphones demeans the industry. What Facebook did for gaming was provide people millions with access, without a learning curve. Smartphones tear down barriers for folks who don’t want to invest in a dedicated gaming device. 2011 will be a wild year in games for consumers and developers struggling to get found.
