Re: Netbooks: The Next Gaming Platform
Mike: I actually quote that reuters article in the article I wrote. I appreciate you sending it along via MUDDEV.
For the purposes of the gaming industry, you can assume netbook owners are using their netbook as an extra computer. Third world customers are not really a primary market for the gaming biz.
The question as to whether people would consider using a netbook for games is amusing, because the same exact question has been used for basically every other technology device. The answer is always "Yes!"
First it was desktops themselves, then laptops, then PDAs, then mobile phones, then blackberries, and now netbooks (with a few other devices in between). People always end up wanting to find ways to use their "work" device for having a little fun.
