 Microsoft may have been late to the smart phone party with Windows Phone 7 (most would agree that Windows Mobile 6.5 was never really ‘at’ the party), but have they won the race to be the first gamer phone?
With the xBox a very successful gaming platform, and its competitors Nintendo and Playstation already having established their portable versions, it would appear that Microsoft was once more missing the boat. However, Senior Director of PC and Mobile Gaming, Kevin Unangst is reported to have explained that Windows Phone 7 is their portable platform for games.
Remembering when the iPhone was released: an iPod which could also make calls, access the internet, and allow you to play silly games – leading the way for the multifunctional smart phone. Could Microsoft have the same success with the first smart phone with real gaming?
Playstation are already working on the PSP phone by Sony Ericsson, but will Windows Phone 7 become the gamer’s phone?
Only time will tell.
