If you do it right, mobile games make a ton of money even if only 1% of the people pay for it. Some games make billions and many make millions. F2P games usually make more money than traditional pay models. It's not that the revenue of mobile is small, it's just that physical sales are still that huge. |

Noo physical media in the world totally ended.
Last week a new snes game got released.
You can still buy cd's dvs's blu rays..
And with the ever increasing popularity of limited run games and many upcoming companies who are trying to do the same.
Physical will never end up until sony etc decide to release a console without a physical drive.
Will be the day i stop new gen gaming. |
and this, and another thing too, outside of towns or other areas densely populated enough, connection speed is low and slowly growing too (and this happens even in some small roads in big towns too, where I live I barely got 11 to 14 Mbps, depending on weather and its effect on old wires, with the best provider and I currently get 8Mbps with a cheaper one), making digital download not viable for PC- and home console-sized games, while mobiles and portables can instead be easily taken to well connected areas when heavier downloads (but still smaller than on PC and home consoles) are needed.
