No sé que le ha dado este hombre con las sobremesas
En una nueva entrevista, Horii dice que las consolas de sobremesa volverán a ser el centro de atención cuando el boom de smartphones se asiente. Añade que jugar en portátil/smarthpone es una tortura y que es más cómodo hacerlo en una sobremesa.
Horii cree que actualmente hay 500.000 jugadores "tradicionales" en Japón. Aumentar ese número en el futuro está en sus manos, dice.

En una nueva entrevista, Horii dice que las consolas de sobremesa volverán a ser el centro de atención cuando el boom de smartphones se asiente. Añade que jugar en portátil/smarthpone es una tortura y que es más cómodo hacerlo en una sobremesa.
Cita:Q. What will happen to games in the future
Horii: People say that home consoles don't sell anymore in Japan, but once the smartphone boom settles I think home consoles will be the focus of attention again.
Horii: It's true that with smartphones and handhelds you have the benefits of taking them anywhere with you or watching TV as you play, but I think fans of video games are still feeling the desire to play games on the big screen. Also, with handhelds because the controller and the screen is on the same device it makes it painful to play for long periods of time. Playing with a home console controller and being able to move your hands around is more comfortable.

Cita:Interviewer: In the West, games like GTA seem to be the next popular thing.
Horii: Ah, Grand Theft Auto. This was the first game that employed the open world system. Instead of being forced down a certain path they put you in an open world and let you do whatever you want. This seems to be the genre most popular in the foreign market. Doing whatever you want in a game that doesn't give you instructions requires a certain talent, a playing talent; And if you don't have it you really have no idea what to do in an open space that doesn't tell you were to go. I think this is one of the reasons most Western games don't hit big in Japan.
Horii: The ability to play sounds like a pretty good way to describe it. People who aren't really good at games seem to stay away from them. This seems to currently be the problem with adults in Japan. In terms of Japanese core gamers how many do you think are in Japan?
Yuji: All together regardless of genre, I think there's about 500,000 core games in Japan. Whether or not this increases is what we will be working hard towards in the future.
