Propelled by in-app purchases, mobile gaming revenue to hit $16 billion in 2016
Revenue from mobile gaming is expected to reach $16 billion in 2016, ABI Research said in a report released last week. ABI expects the growth, which is a big jump from the current $5 billion in revenue expected this year, to come from in-game purchases. “An ever-larger share of mobile gaming revenue is coming from virtual goods and other purchases that take place within the game,” ABI Research senior analyst Aapo Markkanen said. “These in-app payments will account for about one-third of the 2011 revenue base, but by the end of 2016 their share will increase to almost half of the total.

If that figure blows your mind, we should remind you that, during Apple’s Q1, 2011 conference call the company unveiled that it was selling 366,666 iOS devices per day at the time. Interesting to note, Oppenheimer claimed this transition would take place in Apple’s September quarter. What could it mean?Out of all mobile app downloads in the third quarter of 2011, 44 percent were Android apps, making Android the market share leader over iOS’ 31 percent, according to data from ABI Research. The research firm attributed the large shipment of phones running Google’s Android operating system as the reason for the high market share. The total number of Android devices activated worldwide has now reached 190 million (or an estimated 600,000 per day), according to Google. By comparison, growth in iPhone shipments fell for the second straight quarter — from 15 percent in the first quarter 2011 to nine percent in the second.

" Console wars ", also known as " System wars " is a term used to refer to periods of intense competition for market share between video game console manufacturers. The winners of these "wars" may be debated based on different standards: market penetration and financial success, or the fierce loyalty and numbers of the fans of the system's games. The term itself does not strictly denote a clear winner in each case, though. The outcome of a console war may however determine whether or not a manufacturer remains a part of the video games industry.
