Zynga Designer: XBox Live Is Too Small for Us At This Point

Zynga Chief Game Designer Brian Reynolds was recently quoted by Industry Gamers as saying that XBox Live had “too small a demographic” for Zynga games. This challenges the conventional wisdom that social gaming companies have been chomping at the bit to get their games to console. It looks like the games industry is in for a huge change over the next decade, because if a social games developer is scoffing at XBox Live, there’s the potential that console gaming and social gaming grow in completely separate directions.
