[CE]Japan sees rise in console social games

In my view Japan has been leading the market of video games and mobile devices. Sony and Nintendo has been the two big company that invented lots of gaming devices. For Sony, they even expand their market on phones with a lot of functions. From time to time, Japan has been releasing new stuff that we wouldn't expect. Which it's the reason that why they're so attractive and people would buy their interesting products.

As we can see in the video, the second generation of the PSP now support the touch screen function, which it’s kind of new to me since I haven’t go online and search for new things that came out on the devices market. People nowadays is expecting more and more function on a small device. Which that is why the company has to improve their product and have more ideas on how to change about their stuff to make more money. Phone is another example. Lately, Sony has been announcing new phones which they focus on different markets. Some focus on taking great HD pictures, some focus on gaming. But whatever they do, they are still trying to balance up their hard wares with some special function that’s likely different to others.

Now that they have been making their products to let people can be relying with all those function people can use with it, they then found the new possible market which is the social games. Social networking is also a big fact that people loves. Which we can prove it by how many people are using Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. There are lots of game in Facebook that’s written by different people and that brought people gets the chance of playing them with friends. There are tons of games in Facebook that you can play around, and compare the scores with people, or even get to play with them. I believe Japan is aiming for how people now also socializes via mobile devices or home devices. (PS3 and Xbox 360 already have chat system or so..) Then there is the market for people playing games in their home or at bus, but yet that they can be talking with their friends and play games together.
