I am quite sure with mobile devices they are only talking cell phones and similars, if they would include the handhelds that market would certainly be bigger than the home console market.
selling games for cell phones is extremely profitable because the market is huge and you can sell very simple games millions of times. And I mean, there are about 80 million people in germany, let's say that 60 million of them have a cell phone (probably this is way too low) and the market is 360 million euro as the article states. That makes 6 euro per cell phone user, and if you further assume that a game costs 3 euro that makes two games per mobile phone user which is really not that much.
