What CES 2013 says about the state of the game industry

GamaSutra - Game Developer magazine editor Patrick Miller argues how the influx of game-related announcements at this year's CES hints at a tumultuous -- yet exciting -- 2013.

Other than 4k is coming nothing I noticed

[BitbyDeath]

Likely referring to all the new gaming devices.
Nvidia, Valve etc

[miyamoto]

It says that Android is rapidly eating its way as the Open and Free Universal Gaming Standard OS.

First we had
free radio,
free television,
and now Android, the free computer operating system.
has positioned itself using the underlying principles that made these technology household necessity and its taking video games along with it to the mainstream.

Happy Android Gaming!

Nothing because it's not a gaming event.

[Crazyglues]

LoL -that's what I was going to say, but you beat me too it..

Yeah E3 is where you will know what's happening in gaming... - and hopefully what's happening is Gaming is about to be amazing with the launch of PS4 & Xbox 720

You will have plenty of time to save up for a PS4

[Hicken]

The gaming industry is screwed. It's so full of itself right now. Thinking CES should have a significant number of gaming-related announcements is just part of how ridiculous things are now.

[PhillipSantanaMusic]

EXACTLY!! That was my instant reaction after just reading the heading.

CES is NOT a Gaming event therefore don't expect breaking news or any announcements there, PERIOD!

You shouldn't judge the gaming industry of this weeks events, if you do then you have a mixed bag of Apples and Oranges lol

"What CES 2013 says about the state of the game industry"
Nothing.

Because CES has nothing to do with video games.

I was kinda hoping to see something about gaikai though as it is a consumer service. Although it ties into the playstation so I didn't think so.

[Seraphemz]

I would like to see what E3 says about gaming when it comes later this year...since it MORE relevant...
