Android needs to be upgraded to iOS by four points to attract developers to take the lead.

According to foreign media reports, for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users, Apple's launch of the game center for iOS is undoubtedly a huge news, this made many frustrated Android users want to know when they will be able to get the same treatment. However, analysis suggests that Google Android is likely to become the largest mobile gaming platform. In the apple game center, users can connect to other players around the world to play iOS games. Similarly, Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 platform will soon be integrated with Xbox Live, making this operating platform a place for gaming enthusiasts and developers. It can be said that the performance of Android game products has been quite weak so far. due to various reasons, it is affected by large game publishers and the Android Market lacks good game works. Of course, there are also a large number of games in the Android app store, but they are limited to black and white games and clearance.

According to reports from mPlayit, only 17% of Android users search for Games through their mobile phones. In contrast, 64% of iOS users browse the game, and Android is obviously lagging behind in the game. However, the development of Android games is still huge, and it is expected to replace iOS as the largest mobile game platform. If Android wants to make a difference in the game market, do the following:

1. Attract more developers

Currently, many mobile game developers are concentrated in the Apple App Store and are not interested in Android. This is also a despair of Google, but it is undeniable that Android is currently the most popular smartphone operating platform in the United States. Globally, more than 0.2 million mobile phone shipments per day.

Mobile gaming giant Gameloft recently announced a list of 11 major games designed for the Android platform, including Creed, Real Soccer, and Let's Golf. Gameloft is working to release demo versions of these games. At the same time, although EA has not launched many games, the game manufacturer looks very keen to win Android. Although I cannot provide direct details about the product, EA will not ignore the Android Market and we already have many products in the market, said Matt Everett, manager of EA mobile community, at the EA mobile forum.

In addition to the above two companies, there are also a large number of large companies targeting the Android platform. It is also worth mentioning that Google's investment in Zynga, a social game developer, owns popular games such as Farmville and Mafia Wars. If Android can leverage Zynga's rich experience in the social gaming field, many more games will be added to the platform.

2. Create a game center

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, both iOS and Windows Phone 7 are very important to the game community that can connect players, and Android should soon launch such a game center. Droid Gamer suggests that Android should establish a "Game center" system to supplement existing Game clients. All in all, Google should consider building a game center.

Even if Google suspends the launch of a game center designed for Android, a third party can intervene to help it complete the work. Aurora Feint is launching the OpenFeint mobile platform for Android devices. PlayTime can also help developers easily create games that can run on iPhone and Android phones. More interestingly, Sony Ericsson is planning to design a game platform for Android 3.0, where PS and PSP games can be seen. Engadget reported that Sony has made some progress in launching the game.

3. Improve development tools

One of the biggest problems for game developers who want to move their iPhone games to Android is the lack of multi-touch support in Google's operating system. Although many Android phones support multiple contacts, this is irrelevant to the operating system itself. Google still has a long way to go in improving development tools.

4. Place Android on more powerful devices

Hardware problems are another obstacle for large-scale development of Android games. Up to now, most Android mobile phones have less memory than iOS devices. The memory of Android mobile phones is between MB and 1 Gb, and the iPhone can reach 32 Gb. In addition, Android does not support SD memory cards at the beginning, which means that many large iPhone games (up to 300 Mb) cannot be placed on Android phones. Fortunately, the release of Android 2.2 can fix this defect and users will be able to use the app on the SD card. In the future, Android should rely on more powerful devices.
