The mobile gaming industry is on the rise and technology experts have taken notice. According to a recent study by Gartner Dataquest, mobile games will generate about $4.5 billion worldwide in 2008. This amount is expected to steadily increase during the next few years to the point where in 2011, mobile gaming revenue will be approximately $6.3 billion.
Mobile gaming revenue is increasing worldwide, especially in North America. Screen Digest predicts that in 2009 North America will become the biggest mobile gaming marketing, surpassing the Asia-Pacific region. The chart below shows Screen Digest's predictions for the Mobile Gaming Industry from 2007-2012.
According to Screen Digest, a large part of the rise in mobile gaming can be attributed to the iPhone. The usability of the iPhone makes it easier to play these games.
