Forums - Gaming - Japan’s Smartphone Games Market 50% of Japan's total games market in 2013

And that is why it is ridiculous to think that the traditional Japanese console market is still thriving. This trend has been clear for a long time; I'm shocked that so many are still refusing to see it.

And this is why Dragon Quest VIII was put on mobile rather than a console. Thanks Japan.

Isn't that the case pretty much everywhere?


I believe Japan overtook the US as the no.1 buyer of smartphone/tablet apps in the world, and the most downloaded types of apps by the Japanese are games. 



So sad...



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Worldwide the Android hardware base is way ahead, on the software revenue front they will pass iOS eventually, too.

It was just funny in a news about Japan, since it seems to be the only country where Android is in decline.
