Thanks for posting Spurgeonryan,

This is a very interesting article and I think the main point can be summed up using the quote below

-“The games market changed dramatically in the last 5 years, with the rise of mobile growing the market overall and cannibalizing other sectors,” Merel said.-

Mobile has been a game changer in the last few years and on a global basis generates more revenue than the PC and Traditional Console market. This fast increase in Mobile gaming revenue is primarily due to smartphone attach rates increasing in emerging markets such as Asia.

Digi-Capitals outlook on VR is certainly interesting. I'm not sure if I can agree with their bold forecast for VR revenue accounting for 8.6% of the market in 2020 as this would require VR to take off across Mobile, Console and PC where as at the moment I see the majority of growth in VR coming from low cost Mobile solutions. Therefore I'm not sure if there will be a huge software market for VR in the next 5 years due to lack of core gaming adopters.

Great to here! and I see Japan is staying very relevant!

Thanks to Mobile gaming which now accounts for more than 2x the revenue that the console market generates (Yes this includes hardware)

I'm well aware of that! 

It's great to see Japan staying so relevant :)

i dont trust this prediction because there are other stats showing a different picture today, china is already number 1

Happy to see Canada there, though I think its a bit low, especially since Canada is 8th in gaming revenue.
