I am also addicted to my Xbox 360. Yep, I have managed to combine blogging with gaming . And whe nwe think about gaming we automatically think about our home consoles but in the near future our mobile devices will become the competitors of our home consoles!
In five years time we will have phones with the capability of home consoles of 2005
If you look at the overall phone roadmap in terms of technology you can see the graphics improvement and 3D acceleration making a difference and they are getting closer to consoles(Nokia, Jaako Kaidesoja)
Your mobile device as a basis for your games (just think about the Nokia N95). It is closes than you think! Just think about the software from the company Gesturetek (see clip) which allows you to move your characters by moving your mobile phone. It is just one of the many examples where technology makes mobile gaming more interesting! Another example is Imagination Technologies which are developing 3d graphics technology for mobile devices. We will see it in the market in 2009!
We can mix reality with virtuality and make games where you participate time and place independent or rather time and place dependent - where you are, what you do, who are your relationships(Nokia, Anssi Vanjoki)
The mobile gamemarket will have a bright future and in this future gamemarket we will see the mix of the real world with mobile games! ! Cool .
