Research and Markets' new study on portable gaming systems - Image 1International market research and market data company Research and Markets just announced that it has added "The Market for Portable Video Games" in its huge roster of studies. If you are not familiar with this company, you can actually think of it as a one-stop shop for market research reports and industry newsletters.

Anyway, like we said, a new report has been published that tackles the market for portable game systems. The study itself contains a detailed five-year forecast for each platform. Aside from that, the study also discusses the potential impact of yet-to-be released gadgets.

Aside from the above mentioned, a sub-report has been attached to the study that concerns the mobile game market and you can get a lot of insights from it given the round table discussion with leading players and visionaries in the mobile game space. The companies included in the study are:

  • Atari (Atari Lynx)
  • Bandai (Bandai Wonderswan)
  • NEC (NEC Turboexpress)
  • Nintendo (Game Boy, Virtual Boy, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo Ds)
  • Nokia (Nokia N-Gage)
  • Sega (Sega Game Gear and Sega Nomad)
  • SNK (SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color)
  • Sony (Sony PSP)
  • Tiger (Tiger Gamecom and Tiger Telematics Gizmondo)
Quite interestingly, the study also gives a detailed history of the portable game market as well as an overview of failed systems. Video game genres were also discussed aside from complete business models for third-party software sales broken down by platform.

Refer to the Read link below for more details and how you can get the study.
