Spil Games Asia CEO Marc van der Chijs has predicted that Flash Lite gaming on mobile phones will be bigger than Flash gaming on the web within three years.
"I believe mobile games are going to be much bigger than what we see now on the Internet and on our sites," he tells JLM Pacific Epoch. "Mobile games are where money will be made in the future."
That's a big claim, referring to the Chinese market. Van der Chijs says the current rollout of 3G in China will be a big factor, along with flat-rate tariffs.
"I do not expect a huge change over the next 12 months, but I think that within three years mobile games, especially Flash Lite, will be bigger than Flash games that you now play online on a computer," he says.
Spil Games already runs a Chinese web portal offering Java game downloads, as well as a dedicated Flash Lite mobile portal at the URL www.games.mobi.
"I think that will become a leading destination for mobile games worldwide, but eventually we might launch a China specific Flash Lite mobile games site," he says.
