“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
