I agree, that's still a significant chunk considering I thought most people play games on their tablets and phones (i.e. all digital).

Well this is based on revenue and mobile games are almost all free so if a large percentage of people refuse to buy the microtransactions those downloads are worthless.

In other words, it is a completely useless compilation of data that speaks in no way to any trend away from a market for physical purchases since it includes mountains of products only being offerred digitally. |
I wouldn't say that. It shows that without a doubt that consumers will consume far more digitally than physically. It speaks to customer willingness to buy things on digital platforms. There shouldn't be uneasiness about that. Physical is obviously still important, but even on consoles, it's losing ground to digital.
I'd bet that physical won't be an option in 2 generations, if there are new consoles at all.
Why? No one should be surprised by this. Physical media is nothing but a hassle. Our kids will not even know what a disc or cartridge was.

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.
