UK Interactive Entertainment chairman Andy Payne has told attendees at the Develop Liverpool conference that he believes both Nintendo and Sony should stop making video games consoles and should instead embrace mobile platforms such as the iPhone or Android smartphones. What do you think to his comments?
“I think it would be a massive relief to both Sony and Nintendo to become content-only,” he said. “Right now, they might not even know it. You know that thing where you take drugs and you think it’s the best thing in the world? Then you get off them and go, ‘What was I doing?’
“Imagine any Mario or Zelda property being on the iPhone or an Android phone. They’d get £10 or £15 for it, because people would want to pay to have it on their phone. They would. And that would be amazing. And Sony’s content is amazing. I mean, Uncharted … it’s just brilliant! I’m not knocking those guys, because they really do make fantastic games. And when we kind of get that bit over, wouldn’t it be refreshing to have Nintendo really making stuff for the iPhone, Android, and all the other stuff that’s around?”
