“The
obvious objective of video games is to entertain people by surprising them with
new experiences.” -Shigeru
Miyamoto
The gaming industry has many different
games that are profitable, such games are FPS games (first person shooter) these
games fall in the BCG as cash cows. This means that they are more profitable
even though their stories are not changed much, such games as Call of Duty or
Halo have similar story lines throughout their life cycle but are bought
quickly whenever a new game comes out. There are also some games that are non-profitable
which fall in the dog category such games are eragon or E.T games that are made
from movies are considered Dogs since they are not that profitable in the market
and tend to usually fail.
“Every age has its storytelling form, and video gaming is a huge part of
our culture. You can ignore or embrace video games and imbue them with the best
artistic quality. People are enthralled with video games in the same way as
other people love the cinema or theatre.”- Andy Serkis
There are games out there that have
no probability but are extremely popular these are mobile games like candy
crush or angry birds these games fall into the star section of the BCG which
means they don’t make much profit but are extremely popular. These games are
downloaded many times and are played so much that they become addicting to the
user. There are also games out there that fall into the question mark category
of the BCG these games are PT and kingdom hearts 3 these games are still in the
question mark zone because they are unsure of the impact it will have weather
it will make it in the gaming industry or not it’s always a risk with games and
these fall into this category since they were a big thing when they were
announced but have fallen in the process.
“Most of us grew up with video games in the household, either the original
Nintendo in the living room or hoarding quarters for that trip to the arcade.
And as time moves on, that line of nostalgia will keep moving forward where
'Frogger' gets replaced with 'Street Fighter 2' or 'Resident Evil 4.'”- Rob Manuel
