Unequivocally, without a doubt, your company has these two goals:
1. Generate new revenue streams from an existing user base.
2. Position now to take advantage of seismic changes in technology and consumer trends.
This market has proven that video games are one of the few recession proof industries that aren’t going away, but instead growing exponentially. PC Game sales from Digital Distribution and Advertising were $2.8 billion in 2007 and expected to grow 10%+ a year for the foreseeable future. In China, it’s advancing even faster with a 70% growth rate in 2007. Games like World of Warcraft and Halo now have a more significant impact on pop-culture than the biggest Hollywood blockbuster could ever aspire to. With the advent of YouTube, ITunes and other on-demand and streaming services, customers have come to expect more. They expect instant gratification, when they want it, wherever they want it and without delay. This trend and change in consumer demands has already emerged and shows no signs of regressing, but instead is quickly becoming the status quo.
So how do you take advantage of this trend?
The facts:
You have the eyeballs.
It’s easier to market to pre-existing customers than acquire new ones.
It costs multi-millions to develop the technology, the infrastructure, acquire the rights to game content and maintain and update the technology.
You want in and need in but don’t know how or have time to worry about the how.
