It’s no secret that technology is driving innovation in the gaming industry today. There are over approx. 3.1 billion gamers across the globe. The gaming industry has increased focus on not only for gamers, but for game developers and publishers. Investments are made around cloud gaming, subscription service and cross- platform play to enable access anytime, anywhere. To learn more about the gaming ecosystem, I spoke to Brian Cheney, former CIO of Nintendo Americas about how the gaming industry creates interactive user experience, global reach and the social and shared connections it generates. The gaming industry is so huge that the number of viewers actually exceed the number of online players. And it’s predicted that the gaming industry is going to overtake the movie and entertainment industry.
