Industry analysts have made their own predictions about some of the new trends and developments in the game industry this year, according to overseas media reports. Douglas Creutz, vice president of Cowen and Company, believes that the successive declines in gaming retailing will expire this year, with sales revenues, including host games and handheld games, growing slightly. This is because after two years of continuous decline, music games produced by the bubble has been digested, the Wii game has left its peak, coupled with the launch of the 3DS new handheld, as well as PS3 and XB360 game sales continue to grow, will eventually make 2011 years of game sales revenue rebounded. In addition, this year's launch of the "Call of Duty" series will continue to sell the brand's hot momentum, from the beginning of the book will be very popular. Online games version of the "Call of Duty" is expected to debut this year, players can pay a monthly fee, you can buy a retail version. Mainframe, Nintendo will continue to downplay the concept of a new generation of home hosts, and the Wii will be reduced to 149 U.S. dollars. Venture capital in the industry will continue to swarm into social games and mobile gaming, and some blockbuster deals will continue to happen. and digital distribution is expected to make the game's price from 60 U.S. dollars down to 40 to 50 U.S. dollars, followed by the introduction of paid DLC will also allow players to take out 20 to 30 dollars. "The overall performance of the game industry has rebounded in the last two years, especially for social gaming players like Zynga, which will dominate the growth of the emerging gaming industry," said Jesse Divnich, capital Communications and vice president. and forced more traditional gamers to enter the field. But he does not think the mainframe prices will be lowered further this year, as the price of less than 150 dollars will not guarantee the host's profits, so the PS3 and XB360 are more likely to be promoted through high-capacity hard drives and digital services. The dance game, which peaked last year, will have less revenue this year, just as the "Guitar Hero", after attracting enough casual gamers, will show a trend of subsequent weakness.
