Games are expected to surpass film box-officerevenues in the next couple of years.

Interactive entertainment generates of revenue of approximately $9 billion dollars in the U.S. alone.

subscribers.

And over 55 million internet users.

Looking at data in the 2013 time frame, there were a total of over 1 billion Indian consumers playing games on their mobile phone. Based on data gathered in 2013 for mobile game users it is found that approx 51 million urban Indians use their mobile phones to play games on a daily basis.

It's a no-brainerMobile gaming/application development has a

robust future in India.

• Who are their clients?

• How does the business model work?

earned

Can be between 60-90% but the larger base in India makes up for this

With regard to mobile application development platforms, J2me is predominant, although Brew is used in the U.S.,

Japan and Korea.

What are the limitations of mobile game application development?

There are more resource constraints as compared to a desktop environment.

Games need to be simple to learn and 'interruptible', as gamers need to multi-task.

The developer must consider such contingencies as the user's personal safety and security, and the circumstances in which the game may be played (on foot, in a vehicle, etc.).
