Indie Games Play Starring Role at Gamescom 2013

August 20, 2013

While several titles will be released on both platforms, a number of games are system exclusives and will drive interest for gamers.

"Historically, titles have been a primary driver for game console adoption," said Brett Sappington, director of research at Parks Associates. "Even with all of the feature announcements, anticipation of the games available on the new platform will be crucial for market success."

The momentum for the next-generation of consoles is stronger than when compared to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, he added: "Preorders for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are outpacing preorders during the launch of current generation consoles. So the buzz appears to be legit."
