Mobile gaming in the USA is a billion dollar industry

Mobile gaming in the USA is now a billion dollar industry - and the global mobile gaming market will be worth $6.8 billion by 2013, according to a new report from In-Stat. This suggests a slight slow-down sine a report from Understanding & Solutions a year ago, which said revenue from mobile games would rise to $6 billion by 2011. The In-Stat report also says 29.5% of respondents played games on their handsets, with over 80% of players only buying from their network. [Press release]
