I have the opposite view of London and New York. Ive always loved London, maybe because it is a visit when I am there . New York is overwhelming even for a person who is used to cities like myself.

Really good thoughts and I agree, the internet wins in the end. I also agree that a lot more creative MMOs and mobile MMOs are going to emerge. I have particularly enjoyed the http://echobazaar.failbettergames.com approach, especially the use of Oauth integration with both facebook and twitter. I’m also fascinated by what will emerge from the Kinect ecosystem of hackers and game developers, the Kinect and multiplayer gaming could be quite awesome and give developers a reason to look at consoles in a new way.

Ooh, predictions

1. Yes. Well, slowing down anyway.

2. Ditto.

3. Mmmmaybe. They may hit regulatory issues because unlike iTunes they’ve already allowed that ecosystem to flourish and may get slapped on the wrist for practising monopolistic suppression of business.

4. No. Although there are alterations to the viral channels coming through, what will happen is an alteration of the kinds of content sharing through those channels. There’s not much evidence as yet (quite the opposite in fact) that Facebook intends to become a portal.

5. No way. They’ll kill their development community overnight if they do that and reduce any impetus for anyone to make Facebook games again. Facebook isn’t a portal. It’s not Xbox Live on the web.

6. Yep.

7. Indeed. They have a large number advantage.

8. Yes. That’s what we’re banking on too.

9. iTablet is going to be a rush platform, just like iPhone. Interestingly, however, there’s a lot of play being given to destination sites that use external authentication (like Facebook Connect and Twitter) to leverage viral effects while having more control over their own development. So the web itself is the new platform.

10. Probably. Expect new hardware to try and re-ignite it.

11. Yep. Much the same as my reply to #9

12. Um. Who knows
