The Hanoi Times - According to research work by Pearl Research, Vietnam will have over 10 million o­nline gamers by 2011.

 

Pearl Research’s representative, Allison Luong, said the most popular games in Vietnam at present are Audition and Swordmen o­nline. Most of the o­nline games in the country came from China and South Korea. Vietnam is o­ne of the most potential markets for game service providers in Asia. 

However, Luong said World of Warcraft, o­ne of the most popular o­nline games in the world, is not distributed in Vietnam yet. But the game’s distributor, Electronic Arts, is investing in FIFA o­nline in Vietnam, which is the first o­nline game of American-origin in Vietnam. 

According to Pearl Research, most Vietnamese gamers accept to pay from $3-6 per month for making purchases in games. The number of gamers who pay $31 per month for use at Internet cafes is quite high. 

With over 50% of the population below the age of 25, Pearl Research believe that most Vietnamese teenagers and young people will see o­nline games as o­ne of the top entertaining services.
