MobileIndustryBiz has the mobile excerpts of an interview with Game Developers Conference boss Jamil Moledina, who said that games still “play second fiddle to ringtones, and other little snippety bits of video and audio” on handsets. He thinks the mobile industry will expand, but also that there’s a little bit of puffery in the analyst predictions.
“Most of these wonderful ideas about the expansion of the mobile industry are hinged on ‘X’ many 3G handsets being in the marketplace, so since everyone has the platform, everyone will be buying and playing these games,” he continued. “There’s an optimistic assumption in there and I’m not sure that the consumer adoption is right where the rosy predictions are.”
