Hi Nicholas, thanks for this article. However, I question some of your assumptions. Why do you think social gaming is the next frontier? Aren't all of the gaming power houses like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo doubling down on their hard core gaming platforms like the Xbox One and Nintendo Wii U and PlayStation 4? Do you have sales figures showing that there is more profit in social gaming than traditional gaming? (If so, I stand corrected)
Also why do you feel that Zynga is one of the few companies that understands the future of gaming? That's a pretty strong statement but one I find curious. What are you basing it on? I would think the companies experimenting with immersive virtual reality games are more inline with where gaming is headed.
Of course I'm biased and don't really think casual games are considered real video games :). Thanks for a great read.
