The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), is in full swing in Los Angeles this week, and we're here to highlight the most compelling trends we're seeing in video gaming. Because we're betting that when you're not doing your day job, you're engaging in pitched battles in your favorite games. E3, as many of you know, is like the Cannes Film Festival of the video gaming industry. Upcoming video games for the all-important Christmas season (and the next couple of years) are highlighted, along with major developments in consoles, PC gaming, mobile gaming and other sectors. This is the chance to check in on big trends in gaming for the next couple of years, and this year represents some major shifts.
One of the things you'll see is that there are more gaming platforms than ever. The mobile gaming industry is poised to pass the console industry in terms of revenue in 2015. And there are new entrants into the field such as virtual reality.
The other big issue, of course, is the ongoing console war between Sony and Microsoft (with Nintendo in its own niche). The battle has started seeping into other parts of the entertainment industry with Sony dabbling in a streaming service similar to Netflix or cable and both Xbox and PS4 adding apps and channels to their increasing lineup of non-gaming activities. Both giants are vying to be the center of the living room.
