EA Games is one of the largest producers of games for mobile terminals, PC, consoles or the online environment, and a recent information provided by the company announces a bright future for tablets. According to a manager from EA Games, by 2018 tablets will have more processing power than consoles, the hardware will be seriously improved by the manufacturers. Blake Jorgensen, the CFO EA Games, believes that tablets could become more and more popular for gamers, thanks to their portability.
What gets us the most excited is the power, the computing power, of mobile devices and the speed at which that's growing. What that might mean is that a tablet, three or four years from now, has more power than what a typical console has. And that will open up a whole new set of people to console-style games that are much more immersive, much deeper, much more character-driven than simply a static mobile game that you might play for a small burst of time while you're waiting for the bus.
CFO theory is as in the next 3 years, the tablet hardware will evolve so much that this type of mobile terminals will be more powerful than the current consoles. His statement seems extremely surprising at the moment, but considering the fast pace in which the processing power of tablets has evolved in recent years, it is extremely possible. If we look at the fact that year after year manufacturers like Apple double the number of cores of the graphic cards in the iPad, it is not excluded that in 3 years the tablets will have processing power equal to that of the consoles.
This evolution also comes against the background of the fact that mobile terminals are updated from a hardware point of view faster than consoles, so the evolution is faster. If processing power increases in the coming years, then we can expect a multitude of console games to be ported to tablets, and from here things get great.
