Windows Phone 8 gets a huge gaming boost with Unity3D graphics engine support

Sony Mobile is open to building Windows Phone 8 Xperia smartphones

The next generation of Windows Phone devices will reportedly support the high-caliber Unity3D graphics engine. WMPoweruser notes that Unity3D developer Unite Technologies has announced it will support both Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 when the two operating systems are released later this year. As the site writes, this is very significant because “developers will have a very easy time porting high quality, graphics-intensive games to Windows Phone 8 from the iPhone,” meaning that Windows Phone 8 will already have a strong gaming ecosystem ready to go when it finally launches.
