Take-two enters the assault on the mobile and social gaming market, thus reinforcing its sales leadership that it already has in the PC gaming and video console market.<\/p>\n

Today has been unveiled<\/a> that Take-Two has bought Zynga for 11.2 billion euros<\/strong>, a very important amount that shows the interest of this company in the social market.<\/p>\n

Is one of the largest economic operations within the video game industry<\/strong>. What does this acquisition represent?<\/p>\n

Take-two<\/strong> is one of the most important video game producers. It owns companies like Rockstar Games, 2K Games, or Firaxis,<\/strong> who have created games that have sold hundreds of millions of copies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sagas Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, NBA 2K, Civilization, Borderlands, Bioshock<\/strong>, and many others, belong to this company.<\/p>\n

Zynga<\/strong>, meanwhile, has specialized<\/a> in social games for mobile and browser,<\/strong> many of which work within the Facebook platform.<\/p>\n

His greatest success is the FarmVille saga<\/strong>, but it has in its catalog dozens of social games based on micropayments, including a Game of Thrones casino, Harry Potter titles, or the popular Words with Friends 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take-Two is one of the best-selling companies on PC and consoles, and with the acquisition of Zynga ensures a privileged position also in the mobile and social media market<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It thus becomes one of the few video game companies that controls both sectors<\/strong>, something that is not too common.<\/p>\n

Sony, Microsoft, EA, Nintendo and the rest have failed to carve out a notable niche in mobile games, and neither have most mobile companies in PC or console games.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
