MIGS Keynote: A Broken Business Model
The Montreal International Game Summit recently wrapped up, and keynote speaker David Braben of Frontier Development really took the industry to task on everything from the business model (broken!) to retailers (killing longevity of games!) to the 'online myth' of the next gen consoles. He makes some interesting points, though I'm not at all convinced of the veracity of some of them. Here's his take on the retail model: More »

It's a fun read with some good points on the present and future directions of the gaming industry. On the publishing structure, Halpin has this to say: More » -

Analyst Sees Multimedia Hubs Dominating in 2008
Piers Harding-Rolls not only has a name way cooler than yours will ever be. He's also a senior analyst at media (analyst) firm Screen Digest. And he thinks that 2008 will belong to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.Now that these multi-media services - online video, IPTV, digital terrestrial TV and PVR functionality - are now available or poised to come on line in different markets, this 'hub' strategy is emerging as a key console battleground for Microsoft and Sony.
Hmm, most people thought the PS3 struggled because it lacked games, not multimedia features. And unless Sony will be bringing that sweet PS3 DVR functionality to the US, there's massive hole in their plan for the time being. As for the 360, aside from DivX, their multimedia functionality has gone quiet as of late. More »

Game Stock Prices Set to Jump in '06
The videogame industry as a whole has been a terrible investment for mom and pop investors over the last 20 years, so take the DFC's latest report with a grain of salt. That report focuses on the success of game industry stocks during "last" generation - from PS2 to Xbox 360 - a five-year cycle. The question remains, will 2006 lead to investor anticipation for the new generation only to have things slump again in 2007 - as investors realize it takes time to set up the next generation? Or will investing be smarter this time around? More »
