🎮New consoles and cloud gaming will shake up an industry turbocharged by the pandemic.
疫情令遊戲業超速成長！新主機和雲端科技將再掀革命？
💵When Sony, a Japanese electronics giant, reported its latest set of quarterly results on October 28th, the star performer was the firm’s video-gaming division, which makes the PlayStation line of consoles. In a year marked by lockdowns and working from home, gaming revenue instead grew by 11.5% year-on-year as housebound consumers reached for their controllers.
日本電子巨頭SONY於10月28日公佈最新季報時，生產PlayStation系列主機的電子遊戲部門是公司的明星功臣。在這烙印著封鎖隔離和居家工作的一年裡，無法出門的消費者拿起搖桿，促使遊戲收入比起去年成長了11.5%
🏠Most forecasters expected covid-19 to boost the video-gaming business. The pandemic has given a filip to other forms of indoor entertainment, from board games to video-streaming to books. But the scale of the surge has caught industry-watchers by surprise. A games-industry analyst reckons industry revenues will reach $175bn this year, a rise of 20%. Even for an industry that had been growing by 9% annually, 2020 has been a barnstorming year.
預測專家大多預期新冠病毒能促進電子遊戲業，另外從棋盤類遊戲到串流影音和書籍，疫情也刺激了其他形式的室內娛樂。但上升的規模卻讓產業觀測者驚訝，一名遊戲業分析師推估今年的遊戲業總收入將高達1750億美元，提高了20%。儘管遊戲業過去每年成長9%，2020仍是高潮迭起的一年。
🖥Amazon, Facebook and Google all think the time is right to try their luck in the gaming business. Over the past decade streaming has revolutionised music, television and films. The tech giants think cloud computing, fast broadband and 5g mobile networks mean the time is right to try the same thing with video games.
亞馬遜、臉書和Google都認為現在是進入遊戲業試運氣的好時機。過去十年來，串流技術革新了音樂、電視和電影，科技巨頭們認為雲端運算、更快速的寬頻、以及5G行動網路，代表著現在輪到電動遊戲登上雲端了。
串流服務將如何改變遊戲產業？
