Huh, wow. Though the issue with this statistic is that it is counting in dollars rather than units, and you know how disproportionately mobile games seem to rely on microtransactions, and isn't that income heavily weighted by whales ?


There is nothing that immunizes console and PC games from the rise of microtransactions. I would expect the relative effect to be similar. There are just many more phones than consoles.


Maybe, maybe not, but it's just a fact that currently PC & console games are still much more upfront payment compared to mobile games.
