'Everybody with money to spend on development is looking at iPhone,' says UK team Doublesix.
UK downloadable games studio Doublesix has predicted a huge boom in the iPhone games market, revealing that every major games company is clamouring to produce content for Apple's mobile phone.
Inspired by the booming sales of Apple games content, including the 300,000 in 20 days sales of Sega's Super Monkey Ball, 'everybody who has money to spend on games development is looking at the iPhone space' according to studio head James Brooksby in an interview with ME sister site Develop.
Talking as part of an interview covering the studio's first year of business, Brooksby discusses the changing attitudes towards digitally distributed games amongst publishers - and says that much of publisher activity is centered around iPhone, with passion for the platform amongst the industry being "unbelievably strong".
