PROSPECTS

Video games software thrives as consumers increasingly go online in search of entertainment

Video games already dominates sales of toys and games in Taiwan with these products appealing to most age groups and spanning multiple platforms and the category is set to increase its dominance over the forecast period. Video games was impacted slightly by the decision of Nintendo and Sony to cease production of their hand-held consoles, while AR/VR headsets fell out of public focus due to a lack of new products in 2018.

Players invest in advertising to drive sales of video games software

Consumers lose interest in AR/VR headsets due to limitations

Although local manufacturer HTC Corp, Samsung and Sony all successively launched AR/VR headsets during the review period, their products quickly lost their attraction due to their relatively low relevance to video games. A brand new VR theme park was opened in Taipei in 2017 by HTC which utilises its own HTC VIVE products.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Sony retains lead but faces challenges as it ceases production of Sony PlayStation Vita

Sony Computer Entertainment Co Ltd retained its leading position in video games largely thanks to the strength of PlayStation 4. PlayStation 4 has a solid brand reputation that has been established among Taiwanese gamers, although it saw a significant decline in 2018 due to the strong demand for Nintendo’s Switch.

Nintendo Switch continues to win fans backed by new game launches

Nintendo Phuten Co Ltd continued to benefit from the strong performance of Switch in static consoles, which has seen dramatic growth since its launch in 2017. Switch performed significantly better than PlayStation 4 in 2018, especially during the Chinese New Year period, which was partly due to multiple new games being launched.

Activision Expands local presence with new gaming arena experience

Activision Blizzard Inc led video games software in 2018, with this being a highly fragmented category. In March 2017, the company started running its customer service centre in Taipei directly and withdrew its sole distribution and other rights from local game company Games First International Corp.
