Video games have emerged from a niche market for geeks into a booming industry worth billions of dollars annually catering to hundreds of million people
spending billions of hours weekly with their favorite games. The industry has been dominated by several large publishers after years of consolidation, but
with the continually lowering barriers to entry and increasing interest and laissez-faire in the field, new players have begun emerging in the form of startups.
Though many fail without ever even breaking the news barrier, many others have become household names, such as Rovio, Supercell, Housemarque and
Mojang. These new success stories make use of various business models, though trends have begun to emerge, such as the move towards a fully-digital
distribution model and the solidified mechanic of in-game transactions. Though the platforms may be different, many of the same rules of business apply for
the mobile devices, computers and home consoles alike.

Market Share’s direct competitors are game developers including BioWare, EA, and Blizzard.
The primary strength of large companies such as Bethesda and THQ is that they possess enormous market share, brand awareness and existing customer base to leverage existing and future games off. They have large resources for future development capabilities, and have leveraged their first to market company history.
