A study provided by the Game Developers Conference has revealed that the vast majority of European developers are looking to develop solely for mobile device, PC, and Sony’s PlayStation 4. Interestingly 33 percent of developers says that are looking to develop for the PlayStation 4, and 23 percent for the Xbox One. There were no hard figures for Nintendo platforms.
- The vast majority of European developers are currently making games for the PC and mobile platforms. 58 percent of surveyed companies are currently working on a PC title, and 65 percent are developing for mobile.
- Both consoles are gaining developers, but the PS4 has the edge. Almost 20 percent are currently producing a title for the PS4 and 33 percent expect their next games to be on the console.
- In contrast, only 13 percent of surveyed developers are working on a game for the Xbox One right now, and only 23 percent expect to release their next games on the system.
- Crowdfunding is becoming an increasingly accepted form of financially supporting a game’s development. A full 41 percent of all European developers surveyed are planning on using crowdfunding for future games.
How many big European game companies are there, mostly the notable ones like Ubisoft
this is the best nintendo news since the rumble pack
The article this is based on jumps to too many conclusions as facts.
Bad move ….
So what big european devs there is left anyway. The only ones that come to my mind are Ubisoft and Rare(which is Ms 1st party). Ubisoft makes good stuff sometimes but most of their games are boring imo. Rare isnt what they used to be. Bizarre Creations(PGR devs) have been closed. So what major 3rd party european studios there are besides Ubisoft. Looking at the survey results to me it looks like most of these devs are just small indie devs. So not a big deal imo. I rather have devs like Bandai Namco giving full support for WiiU than these devs.
Face palm.
That’s Europe…
aren’t you from sweeden clown?
And I hate this stupid country too considering there are Xbots and Electrons everywhere, your point?…
You didn’t notice he spelt Sweden as “sweeden”?
in fact, I am getting sick of Narutard, I am using my tracker to find out who he is and where he is
My uncle works for the FBI. After seeing everything you say and showing him what you do/say including this. He is looking more into it, including knowing where your location is do to tracking your device you use. Have fun freak, he thinks you could be a threat do to all your history on the net.
Of course I noticed, I just wanted to expose his species again…
So far I have his FC and his face, not much to go on but it will do much
aren’t you the idiot who post that boob question on twitter?
And what if he’s from Sweden? any problem with it stupid racist?
at least neither Commander or the people here are fap addicts like you
western, european, african and japanese devs dont need to waste there time on the wii u. the xbox one and direct x12 is the right definitive choice for them.
You are funny….
Exposed for having the pathetic current garbage console…

Fuck you even Phil Spencer said Direct x12 won’t mean a big change in Xbone’s games. It’s nothing but a development tool to help devs save time
its not like nintendo helps any devs or gives them a hand or guide unless its a japanese dev.

Neither does Mircosoft and Sony. So technically no one does. Exposed.
It doesn’t even work on that garbage system…
you don’t own a xbone…but you get a boner while surfing the web, hahahaha the twitter post
Yet you say they should waste time with a Narutard game for Wii U. Exposed.
Microsoft fanboy confirmed. Oh wait. We’ve known this about you since forever. xD Keep on sucking that Microdick, kid. Oh & enjoy getting taken from behind by EA since that’s where they like to screw people over the most from.
I love dem fanboy tears
it was beautiful when the frostbite devs made them ass hurt.
I bet your mom was pretty ass hurt when she saw your face. Ahahhahha XD
your hand must hurt…you know…you keep fapping all the day…exposed!!! lol that twitter thing XD
Just get a life, seriously GET A LIFE. Theres more to do than stare a worthless screen all day. In the end all these consoles are boring, shitty waste of time. I dont get what you so called “hc gamers” gain from staring thousands of hours for a fuckin screen.
Hardcore gamers don’t play to gain anything.. They play to just play.
Waste of time if you ask me. Like it would matter how big someone´s gamerscore is or how much trophies they have. Yeah sometimes playing is fun but maybe its just me but i get bored after 30 mins of playing and it doesnt matter what i play. Gives you the feeling,”why the fuck im doing this?” you know what i mean? Call me a casual if you will, i dont care.
It was even more beautiful when you got butthurt and exposed yourself on youtube and cried.
You’re such a bitch always coming to news articles after everyone’s gone because you think they all left so no one will argue with you. Such a wimp
In other words I have superior arguments, you don’t.
No, you’re just too scared to have real time arguments. Exposed.
There by your logic, you are too. Exposed.
*Then
Lol, even your English sucks.
Exposed again
Lol, you pick at my spelling? Is that all you have left to attack me with? Explains why you’ve already lost, because you changed the subject. Exposed.
Unfortunately here in the UK, people are too stupid to buy the Wii U. Whenever I show other people games for the Wii U, they say the game looks amazing, but suddenly when I mention it’s for a Nintendo console, they suddenly start saying it sucks.
Free to play mobile can’t die in a fire soon enough. I understand the goldfish mentality but it is a blight on gaming.
Ps4 sucks balls big time
It’s a failed console
Wii U sucks balls big time
It’s a failed console
Your logic fails big time. Obvious by all your double standards.
Pretty exciting stuff! The moblie gaming community is growing so strong now and it’s great to see so many developers creating some great content for on the go gaming.
to be honest the business for video games will never disappears. Now if the so called experts think the video game industry will be mobile then I am afraid they are wrong. The console or handle game busines will not be as good as it was 5 years ago but people will either move to PC or keep their console and play the games they could not play. I look at my list to play and believe me I am ok for the next 10 or 20 years if console gam stop now.
If this is true, this article has Ubisoft written ALL OVER IT. xD
