Reuters reports that News Corp has plans to turn MySpace into more of a gaming platform. News Corp digital head Jonathan Miller plans to expand the gaming sections on MySpace.
"You must focus, and in our case we are focusing on music, games, video, things like that," Miller said.
It was not clear if MySpace would leverage more entertainment content from parent company News Corp and its television and movie divisions.
Miller told Reuters that while MySpace will not become primarily a gaming destination, it will be a crucial theme.
"If you look at the big activities online, games right now is number three," he said. "Communications, search, games. So it's clearly going to be a major focus."
He added that News Corp could possibly make acquisitions to bolster MySpace's video game platform, though he had no specific targets in mind.
MySpace has a games section here but it is currently not even listed as one of the main MySpace tabs. There's a lot of competition in this area. There are many sites offering free games, game trailers and game downloads. It is a growing area and a large site with many users like MySpace would be foolish to overlook it.
