Mobile gaming’s 800-pound gorilla

Steve Palley, former editor Gamespot Mobile and recently reinvented at new-analysts-on-the-block Foci Mobile, recently published an article on how the EA acquisition of Jamdat is finally getting the mobile gaming house in order. It’s an interesting and thoughtful article, although rather US-centric in its view of the mobile industry.

But is it true that now that EA has jumped into mobile with both feet it’s going to win the mobile war no matter what? Certainly, it has cemented EA Mobile at the top of the pile. But mobile gaming is still a very young industry working on an immature technology platform. Today’s industry landscape is likely to change radically as the market becomes more mature.
