iOS and Android Over the Video Games Market

In the last years, we have seen some incredible games at the App Store from Apple and now we also have games at the Android Market from Google. But before that, we had great portable consoles such as the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP, and currently they continue their own way.

But now with these App Stores we have access to an easier world where with just a tap we can download an incredible game right from our smartphone. So, lets check these statistics.

Mobile analytics service Flurry Analytics has launched a study on the percentage of revenue from mobile platforms in the gaming industry based on 12,000 million records captured from 80,000 applications anonymously iOS and Android. Thedata show the remarkable growth can be seen in the graph you will find on theselines and if already in 2009 the iPhone OS at that time exceeded U.S. to the PSP with 19% versus 11% of the latter, the entry of Android and the evolution of iOS in 2010 further increases the difference.

Sales of games and Android iOS U.S. have increased during 2010 to reach 8% oftotal revenues estimated at 800 million dollars, most of which are the grace, asFlurry, games for iPhone. This cake does not include data for PC games, although these are estimated at 700 million, anything that smartphone and tablets have notalready left behind.

It is clear that 15% iOS and Android have been scratched in notebooks from Sony and Nintendo in 2010 was largely due to a combination of factors, including a family of devices they always have, with uninterrupted access to a growing catalog software with a very low cost or even free supported by advertising or purchasing systems within applications.
