Bidness ETC - Can Apple Watch Act As The Next Gaming Platform ?



Apple Watch has immense potential to act as a gaming platform.

Apple Inc. is captivating the market with its top notch products and now with the launch of Apple Watch their game is likely to get stronger. The company is likely to become the next big thing for advertisers and smartphone users since the device has immense gaming potential. Advertisers are also keen to bolster and adapt their apps. However, Mr. Maximo Cavazzani, the mastermind behind Trivia Crack believes that the adaptation for application on Apple watch is relatively complicated.

Many developers believed that the adaptation for this Apple product would resemble the iPad apps with the feasibility to cater to several advertisements. However, quite different to this perception, the watch has a small sized screen along with a compact processor that changes the dynamics of the application to a great extent.

Tim Cook, the chief executive officer of Apple is the man behind the removal of several features that dealt with in-app purchases on the watch considering the hardware constraints. However, the best way to start churning revenues on this device is via gaming applications. Considering the statistics obtained from App Annie, almost 10 percent of total 5,600 applications that are devised for Apple Watch is related to gaming. This shows that this platform is a great opportunity for developers for developing gaming application that can boost sales and downloads.

On the other and, certain developers are still skeptical regarding this product's future in gaming. These skeptics believe that they would be required to consider the broader implications regarding an app that holds onto users and ensures engagement along with road hazards and safety of consumers.

The fan of Watch apps have more good in store for them and a lot more to anticipate during the company’s annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), which is almost ready to happen. Apple is likely to come up with a Tool Kit that will help developers to come up with their own apps for this product.

Developers at this point are most likely to design such Watch apps that are perfect for a screen sized 38 by 42 millimeters. Likewise the Runeblade developers, a popular fantasy game have modified the features of the game so that they can easily move from actual gaming to that decision that impacts the game story line in the long run.

The developers start need to take the gaming aspect of this apple product seriously as this is the relatively great platform to ensure monetary developments. Once the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) is over, the developers will have more option to play around.
