“Analysts have predicted that the boom in netbook usage around the world could drive forward the importance of casual gaming within the global games industry” - Netbook boom bodes well for casual gaming
That seems to make sense. After all, netbooks are mostly purchased by people who are on the move and we all know how a casual game can make those idle and boring times more bearable. I can think of those who spend a good 30 minutes in the underground train with no Internet access whatsoever, using their netbooks to play games. Obviously due to netbooks’ low performance, the heavy duty games are out of question!
