Week 2 EOC: Boston Consulting Group - Video Games

The PS3 has successfully landed itself in the cash cow category. Play Station 3 plans on going much further then it has already gone by, putting in the Blue-ray format, and Sony has mentioned bringing streaming to the PS4. Surprising the Play station 3system has been fortunate enough to be more of a sensation then the Xbox 360.

“The PS3 has taken a step beyond the typical range of video game consoles to offer full compatibility with the popular Blu-ray format while also enhancing its online capabilities. In other words, the PS3, with its online capabilities and excellent gaming features, is capable of serving as the anchor for any entertainment center.”

“The rapid spread of smart phones and tablet computers over the past few years, coupled with faster cellular-network speeds, is changing the business model for games played on mobile devices.
