Read the title of this survery, I mean read what it is actually about, what these bars represent.

People spending more and more money on gaming on tablets and smartphones.. Mobile gaming is huge.. in Japan has taken over traditional gaming..
Japanese mobile game industry (feature phone + smartphone) was $5.1 billion for 2012. Japanese consoles/handhelds software + hardware was $4.6 billion for 2012..

the second graph shows a shift in mindset.. the portable gaming market has evolved.. what else would it represent?

and who would you imagine were the people taking part in this Survey? this survey formed by appannie a website which "We provide app ranking data and high quality mobile analytics - app store download, app store sales and other insightful app store data for iOS & Android." well it almost seems like apps being the most popular thing ever is these guys business. I would definately imagine this survey was also mailed out to gamers who have a 3ds or Vita since they wouldn't have been able to download the app of "how much do you love apps?"


the first graph shows sales data though, so from there you can see how much more revenue the nongaming devices are making. Not including apps with ads, while including digital and physical for the consoles
