Apparently, you’re a gamer
The research is in… Nabeel Hyatt points out thru custom research with Compete.com (a fascinating tool btw) that gaming online garners higher attention than consuming video and content. I love how the hype of online video and social networks is so prevalant, but gaming is the bastard child of the universe and is constantly there even though no one wants to admit it.
I am referencing a chart that is posted on Nabeel’s blog (there are more), see below:
Gaming isn’t just about gaming. This is where people sometimes misunderstand the market. Gaming wraps in every element of the online medium such as social networks, video, and content… the latest games coming out of the top publishers include all of this and/or wrap into other services that provide these things…. Just check out Rapture (social network around WoW)
The gaming landscape is going through a significant transition and we’re excited to be a part of it.
