In the past, he continues, the platform was hardware, but now it is network. âSo a time will come when the hardware isnât even needed any more.â
But wonât this hurt game companies and platform holders? âFirst of all the distributors and sales firms will see a big negative impact,â said Wada. âBut as I say the format holders knew that this shift was coming.â
Square Enix is currently branching out to focus on PC browser games, which Wada sees as potentially big market especially in Asia.
