mobile gaming isn't really that big revenue-wise, though they sell tons of games.

Revenue In Germany (2012):

console games - 819m €
PC games - 464m €
handheld games - 180m €
mobile games - 38m €

Mobile gaming has 4.6% of the console revenue and 2.5% of the total market revenue.
To make as much revenue as the consoles they'd need to sell 418m games in Germany every year (curently 19m). Average price for a mobile game is only 2€.

Wow, that's peanuts. But how can mobile games like Angry Birds be so huge and profitable then?

Not sure if the numbers include microtransactions and/or ad clicks, but I'd guess that's how most mobile games stay profitable.

Neither is included.

DLC revenue for all platforms is 226m €.
4.7m (out of 25m) German gamers bought DLC in 2012 for an average price of 48.3€
