WHY DO YOU KEEP PLAYING GAMES????
The video game industry has sustained over a billion dollars in revenue for the past several years. It’s when these sort of startling revenue figures become consistent that an entertainment format becomes a giant. Video games have become more then just a portal to enjoy games on home consoles. In today’s video game market mobile gaming has become a giant into itself. Phone devices have recently flooded the gaming market with many viable video games in application formats. Understanding the shift to mobile gaming while strengthening the home console market, video game publishing has become more profitable in the current economic landscape.
Sony is placing a new handheld device on the market in the next quarter while Nintendo has continued to redesign their handheld device the DS over the past couple years. Recognizing the viability of the mobile market, it’s only a matter of time before Microsoft adapts to the changing market. Publishing and developing third party content for mobile phones can be lucrative, despite not having a handheld gaming device designed by your company. Gamers can be confident that market research will keep the handheld gaming market competitive as well as innovative.
It can be inferred that mobile gaming opens up a market that’s geared towards casual gamers. “Angry Birds” a major mobile video game has exploded on the market while capturing the attention of multiple demographics. Due to the impact of mobile phones within society, a video game portal is already in the hands of more consumers then any other handheld gaming device. The sheer number of households that have at least one mobile phone should make it apparent to game developers that the handheld gaming market has an abundance of potential. Working towards converting casual gamers to hardcore gamers has become much easier since the device of choice is readily available to consumers. The mobile phone may be the clear-cut future of video game industry through the remainder of this century.

Strength In Numbers
There is the old adage that two heads are better then one. How about 500 or 1,000 heads? Are they better then one as well? In the major entertainment industries there are a plethora of obstacles and many come from individuals simply not working well together as a team. WarStation TV has found an entertainment group of affiliates that have debunked the myth that multiple entertainers cannot work together cohesively.
“201 The Movement” a group formed in Jersey City, New Jersey combines hundreds of entertainers, entrepreneurs, and companies with the common goal of working together to secure the advancement of all involved. Multiple events are presented in a private forum that allows each member to collaborate when a mutual benefit can be determined. The group is structured to allow all members to take part in projects relevant to their industry. However this group also promotes healthy relationships between entities in differing industries allowing members to diversify their potential clientele.
Recently a major concert called “THE 201 PLEASE SAY THE MOVEMENT CONCERT” was launched to provide a platform for every relevant artist to perform in a major northern New Jersey venue. This event marked the first time in New Jersey’s history that a major concert contained 25 plus artist on one ticket who all are home grown Jersey City artist. 201 is the area code that’s been used in Jersey City for sometime which explains the group’s name. There are future events in addition to radio stations that will U-Stream relevant 201 The Movement music, products, and services. Two heads are indeed better then one but I prefer working with hundreds of professionals with a simple common goal…. progression for all!!!!! Whenever any entertainer visits New Jersey "Please Say The Movement" so that you can work alongside some of America’s best artist.
