Commodore has added its name to the long list of companies making games for the cell phone industry. This has become a big business, very big in fact, as more and more gamers prefer to take their favorite titles on the road.
Commodore Gaming will be using Telcogames to supply its content and will release a lineup of towers to let customers download games to their phones using Bluetooth, media cards or even USB.
The mobile games market is set to grow from a €1.7 billion industry in 2005 to almost €7 billion by 2010. Such a rapid evolution in the market will inevitably create opportunities for innovative and responsive companies that are willing to push existing boundaries and bring mobile games to the attention of the mass market at the retail level," said Bala Keilman, CEO of Commodore Gaming. "We believe that the revolution in handheld media devices, which includes the new generation of mobile phones will demand a variety of simple, user-friendly ways for consumers to download content. Mobile phones have inherent difficulties in the way content can be searched and discovered by users, and we believe that offering this content in retail stores on a 17" touch screen will help educate and encourage consumers to try mobile games as well as other types of content."
"Telcogames are excited to have been selected as the preferred supplier of mobile games to Commodore Gaming," added Mikael Kronzell, Managing Director Scandinavia & Emerging Markets at Telcogames. "The establishment of alternative distribution methods will be important for driving Telcogames as well as the whole industry to the next step. We have strong faith in Commodore Gaming's business concept in this area and Telcogames looks forward to being a long-term and trusted mobile games partner of Commodore Gaming."
