The Week Ahead: Jan 21-25
The weekly GamesIndustry.biz preview of things to note for the next seven days.
The week beginning January 21 should be an interesting time for several companies, not the least of which is SCi. Following the announcement that the company is no longer in talks with potential buyers and the subsequent departure of senior management, the focus will be on the board to begin its promised "root and branch" series of changes.
We'll have the second part of our look at the global videogames funding scene, following last week's look at North America with a detailed examination of Europe.
There will also be reports from the ATEI Exhibition and news from Osney Media's Mobile Games Forum.
Plus we'll be looking at the issues faced by households that contain more than one console, and if there might be opportunities to improve the consumer experience.
One of the year's first major titles is released this week - arcade racer Burnout Paradise will hit the shelves for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and while it won't have any effect on the week's charts, at least there'll be at least some change in the air the following week.
