EA to Support Android Gaming [Android]

In step with EA’s Chief Financial Officer Eric Brown, EA has decided to push the Android platform besides the iPhone. Citing his own market projections, Brown said that they expect the ” a good deal to happen” in Android’s future.

Talking to investors at the Deutsche Bank 2010 Technology Conference, he mentioned that EA expects Android to have 25% of the market in 2014, compared to 11% for the iPhone.

There’s an awful lot to happen sooner or later in Android, and we’re seeking to position our mobile business to use that trend.

However, then he went on to claim that Android needs ” the deployment of an [Apple] App Store equivalent for the Android operating system” for this to happen, even while Android already has an Apple-style app store. Then he added that the transition from dumbphones to iPhone and Android is like ” like facing a PS2 to PS3 transition.”

I think he really meant from PlayStation to PS2. Or even we don’t should pay much attention to Mr. Brown. [ Pocketgamer ]
