Analysts say game consoles have not been scaled to make online games popular in China

Beijing time May 20 Evening news, according to foreign media reports, U.S. investment company Roth Capital analyst Adam Corisich Adam Krejcik in an interview with the U.S. investment media that in China's online games occupy the mainstream,　　The main reason is that China has not yet formed a large-scale game market. "For investors who are not very familiar with the gaming industry, I would like to compare it to the American video game field," Corisich said. But unlike gaming consoles like PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo, China's main gaming platform is computers, where players can log on to the Internet and play games with thousands of other players. Although there are similar games in the United States, but more popular in China, there are many reasons for this phenomenon, one of which is that China has not yet formed a large-scale gaming machine market, mainly because of price problems and piracy concerns, we believe that in the short term it will be difficult to change the situation. In this regard, the game model has become one of the most popular forms of entertainment in China, as online gaming can provide more attractive value positioning and avoid many piracy problems. "There are two categories of games in China, namely MMORPG (Massively multiplayer online role-playing games) and casual games," Corisich said. MMORPG provides a virtual world for a large number of online players, players can choose a fictional role and control the character's behavior, the main features of such games are high-quality images and immersive environment, usually attract some ' hardcore ' players. "World of Warcraft" is one of the most popular MMORPG games, Activision Blizzard developed the game and is responsible for operations in the United States. In China, the game is run by the local game operator, nine cities (note: At present the game's proxy has been transferred to NetEase). Casual games for the mass market, including Tetris, crossword puzzles, chess games and so on. In addition, there is a third game model called Advanced Casual games, which integrates the functions of casual games and MMORPG. "(Sean)
