Microsoft to bring Xbox and PC games to Apple, Android phones: report

SAN FRANCISCO | Mon Jun 24, 2013 2:42pm EDT
(Reuters) - Microsoft Corp will offer its console and computer games for Apple Inc's iPhone and other smartphone platforms this fiscal year, through a tie-up with Japanese smartphone game maker Klab Inc, the Nikkei said on Monday.

Through a licensing deal, Klab will bring Microsoft's Xbox and Windows-based computer games to the iPhone and smartphones using Google Inc's Android operating system, according to the Nikkei.

Microsoft's "Age of the Empires" will be available as a free-to-play game worldwide on smartphones by the end of the fiscal year 2013 and other titles will follow, the report said.

Old people don't really get gaming.... but it's a big industry - think movie industry scale....

This is a smart move - much of gaming has moved to phones/tablets, M$ is wise to embrace this and not pull an Office strategy of leave it on their tablets (which have pathetic share)...

Game revenue is growing quickly on both iOS and Android:

The only guys getting laid out are the game developers who are going to make billions while game players masturbate
