Filip Novotny Osati kale kwambiri, msonkhano wotchuka kwambiri wamasewera, E3, udatha, ndipo ngakhale Apple sinayimitsidwe pamenepo, chikoka chake chidamveka pafupifupi pagawo lililonse.
Ngakhale kuti msonkhanowu makamaka udakhudza kukhazikitsidwa kwa zinthu zatsopano kuchokera kwa opanga azikhalidwe (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft) ndi maudindo a nsanja zapamwamba. Kwa zaka zingapo tsopano, kukhalapo kwa wosewera wina wamkulu kwakhala koonekeratu pamsika - komanso ku E3. Ndipo sizongokhudza kukhalapo kwa opanga iOS (kuphatikiza apo, palibe ambiri aiwo ndipo titha kuwapeza ku WWDC). Ndi iPhone yake, Apple sinangosintha momwe mafoni am'manja amawonera, komanso adapanga nsanja yatsopano yamasewera mothandizidwa ndi App Store. Pamodzi ndi kutsegulidwa kwa njira zatsopano zogawa, palinso kusintha kwa maonekedwe a masewera a masewera: kuthekera kokhala masewera opambana sikulinso ku blockbuster ya madola milioni, komanso masewera a indie omwe ali ndi ndalama zochepa. Ndikokwanira kukhala ndi lingaliro labwino ndi chikhumbo chofuna kuzindikira; pali zosankha zokwanira zokwanira zomasulidwa lero. Kupatula apo, umboni wa izi ukhoza kukhala Mac App Store, pomwe masewera ochokera kwa opanga odziyimira pawokha ali m'gulu la maudindo otchuka.
Ngakhale mndandanda wamasewera odziwika bwino udakali ndi udindo wawo, chizolowezi chongoyang'ana osewera "wamba" sichinthu chonyozeka. Chifukwa chake ndi chosavuta: aliyense akhoza kukhala wochita masewera mothandizidwa ndi foni yamakono. Foni yamakono imatha kuyambitsa ngakhale anthu omwe sanakhudzidwepo kulowa munjira iyi ndikuwatsogolera ku nsanja "zazikulu". Osewera atatu akulu a console amagwiritsa ntchito matekinoloje atsopano osiyanasiyana kuti awonjezere kukopa kwawo. Mwina woyambitsa wamkulu pa atatuwa, Nintendo, adasiya kalekale kufunafuna zida zamphamvu kwambiri zomwe zingatheke. M'malo mwake, adawonetsa chogwirizira chake cham'manja cha 3DS, chomwe chidachita chidwi ndi chiwonetsero chake cha mbali zitatu chomwe sichimafunikira magalasi kuti agwire ntchito, komanso cholumikizira chodziwika bwino cha Wii chokhala ndi chowongolera chake chosinthira. Chaka chino, mbadwo watsopano wa masewera otchedwa Wii U udzagulitsidwa, womwe udzaphatikizapo wolamulira wapadera mu mawonekedwe a piritsi.
Monga Nintendo, Microsoft ndi Sony abwera ndi njira zawo zowongolera zoyenda, zomalizazi zikubweretsanso kukhudza kwamitundu yambiri ku PS Vita yake yatsopano. M'munsimu, osewera onse akuluakulu a hardware akuyesera kuti agwirizane ndi nthawi ndikusintha kukwera kochititsa chidwi kwa mafoni a m'manja ndi kutsika kwapang'onopang'ono kwa zotonthoza zam'manja. M'gawo lapakhomo, amayesanso kufikira mabanja, ana, apa ndi apo kapena osewera. Mwina sipangakhale kukayikira kuti Apple yathandizira kwambiri kusinthaku. Kwa zaka zambiri m'dziko la console, zatsopano zidakhala ngati mipikisano chabe kuti zithandizire kukonza zida, zomwe zidapangitsa kuti zinthu zomwezo zizikhala zosiyana ndi mitu yochepa chabe. Koposa zonse, tidawona kuwunika kwa majeremusi pakugawa pa intaneti. Koma tikhoza kuyamba kulankhula za kusintha kwakukulu pokhapokha kufika kwa nsanja zatsopano zotsogoleredwa ndi iOS.
Komabe, si hardware yokhayo yomwe imadutsa mwa iwo, komanso zomwe zili zokha. Osindikiza masewera akuyeseranso kutsegula malonda awo kwa osewera patchuthi. Sikuti masewera onse masiku ano ayenera kukhala otsika kuposa akale akale; nthawi zambiri amakhala ofikirika komanso othamanga popanda kuchepetsa zovuta kwambiri. Komabe, palinso mndandanda wanthawi yayitali womwe, ngakhale kuchuluka kwa magawo angapo, sikufanana ndi mulingo wodziwika kale (mwachitsanzo, Call of Duty) pankhani ya nthawi yosewera kapena kusewera. Kusintha kwa kuphweka kuti mukope anthu ambiri ogwiritsa ntchito kumatha kuwoneka ngakhale mndandanda wovuta ngati Diablo. Owunikira osiyanasiyana amavomereza kuti vuto loyamba lodziwika bwino limathanso kutchedwa Casual, ndikuti limatanthauza maphunziro a maola angapo kwa osewera odziwa zambiri.
Mwachidule, osewera hardcore ayenera kuvomereza mfundo yakuti chitukuko cha makampani Masewero ndi chiwerengero chachikulu cha anthu chidwi sing'anga kumabweretsa, pamodzi ndi zabwino zoonekeratu, chizolowezi chomveka kumsika waukulu. Monga momwe kukwera kwa wailesi yakanema kunatsegulira njira zamalonda zochitira zosangalatsa zosautsa, makampani opanga maseŵera akupanga zinthu zopanda pake, zotayidwa. Koma palibe chifukwa chothyola ndodo, pali maudindo ambiri abwino omwe akutulutsidwa lero ndipo osewera ali okonzeka kulipira. Ngakhale opanga odziyimira pawokha angadalire kuthandizira zinthu zabwino ndi mautumiki a Kickstarter kapena mwina mitolo yosiyanasiyana, osindikiza akulu akufikirabe chitetezo chotsutsana ndi piracy, popeza ambiri sali okonzeka kulipira kuti akonze mwachangu.
Ngakhale zikutheka kuti makampani amasewera akadakumananso ndi vuto lomweli ndi mafoni am'manja kapena opanda mafoni, Apple sangakane kuti ndi gawo lothandizira kwambiri kusintha konseko. Masewera atha kukhala sing'anga yayikulu komanso yolemekezeka, yomwe ili ndi mbali zake zowala komanso zakuda. Mwinanso chosangalatsa kwambiri kuposa kuyang'ana m'mbuyomu ndikuwona zomwe Apple ikuchita m'tsogolomu. Pamsonkhano wa D10 wa chaka chino, Tim Cook adatsimikizira kuti akudziwa za udindo womwe kampani yake ili nawo mubizinesi yamasewera. Kumbali imodzi, adanena kuti alibe chidwi ndi zotonthoza mwachikhalidwe, koma izi ndizomveka, chifukwa ndalama zazikulu zomwe zimagwirizanitsidwa ndi kulowa kwa osewera omwe adakhazikitsidwa (omwe Microsoft adakumananso ndi Xbox) sizingakhale zoyenera. Kuphatikiza apo, ndizovuta kulingalira momwe Apple ingapangire masewera a console. Pamafunsowa, komabe, panali nkhani ya kanema wawayilesi yomwe ikubwera, yomwe ingaphatikizepo masewera ena. Titha kungolingalira ngati kungokhala kulumikizana ndi zida za iOS kapena ntchito yotsatsira ngati OnLive.
