Console 'is still a thriving market'

The mobile boom has given rise to a lot of talk about tablets and smartphones replacing consoles, but Zoe Mode has told Develop it's not buying into the hype.
In just five years the small Brighton-based team has grown into a thriving studio with over 150 employees, and design director Andy Trowers says this success is due to a thriving console market.

"I think we’ve actually remained fairly consistent over the years and there’s been a big gold rush away from consoles into mobiles," said Trowers.
"For us, we don’t actually really believe the hype. We think console is still a very, very thriving market."
Though many in the industry are calling it quits on what are widely considered to be outdated machines, Zoe Mode has continued to push console development as an investment in its future.
