As an old school gamer whose childhood experiences included the nascent days of video game consoles such as the Atari 2600, I can tell you first hand much has changed in the video game industry. Rather than stand alone game machines, video game consoles have morphed into powerful home entertainment hubs featuring games, movies, e-commerce, and social media integration.

The reason? The stunningly rapid global ascendance of mobile gaming via smartphones and tablets.
