Nacon Executive Highlights Oversaturation in Gaming Market

Benoit Clerc suggests consolidation among indie developers as a potential solution to the problem of too many game releases.

Nacon's head of publishing, Benoit Clerc, has stated that there are too many games on the market, making it difficult for new releases to gain traction.
Clerc attributes the current glut of games to increased investment during the COVID-19 pandemic when the gaming market was booming.
Nacon has found success in targeting niche genres, but Clerc warns that even niche markets need to be large enough to support the competition.
Despite the crowded market, Clerc believes that the gaming industry is still doing well in historical terms, with a shift towards home entertainment boosting numbers.
Clerc suggests that smaller developers could band together to create larger, more noticeable games, reducing the number of releases while potentially increasing their quality.
