para Nintendo DS. Today launches the mythical Proein distributor, which is now part of Eidos, I called more attention to the launch of Diner Dash that of the great Final Fantasy III for Nintendo DS. I tell you why:

It's funny that traditional video game distributors to see the Internet as a powerful enemy that will take away market share due to the online distribution of video games and on the other hand, publish best sellers generating Internet. Which is it? Does the Internet is the enemy, but if determined to fame game, edit it? I do not feel bad, but then the Internet is not the ruthless enemy appears, but rather a new and great opportunity that you're forced distributors to join sooner or later. They can not pass up the opportunity to edit some casual games that are going to open and universalize the market as they wish.

The main difference between Diner Dash console and PC gaming console is that it costs 29.95 euros, while the Internet can play online for free and you can also buy the PC version for just over 10 euros.

Another example of a distributor who does not see the Internet as an enemy and is able to adapt well to change is Electronic Arts. Just released Pogo Island , a collection of mini-games to console based on the popular website owned by EA, pogo. EA also has its own download platform games, EA Link, I will discuss one of these compared with the largest distributors of online games: Trymedia, Boonty or Oberon.
