Japan games firm Nexon bets on growing computing power of mobile devices

TOKYO : Games company Nexon Co Ltd is betting on bringing long-running PC titles to mobile devices to drive revenue, as faster internet speeds and improved processing power improve the gaming capability of smartphones, its CEO told Reuters.

Mobile “will dwarf the PC numbers long term,” Chief Executive Owen Mahoney said in an interview on Monday, days after Nexon reported mobile’s proportion of July-September revenue grew to 42% from 26% in the same period a year earlier.
