Mobile gaming is growing at a stronger rate than the console and handheld gaming markets, but this still won’t make it mobile’s “killer application” according to a recent report from UK-based entertainment analyst firm Understanding & Solutions (via release). Though mobile gaming has a smaller share of the overall gaming market, its growth puts it in second place behind online games. Other key points include:
— Understanding & Solutions Analyst David Rouse estimates global revenues from mobile gaming at $3.6 billion this year, and nearly doubling to $6 billion by 2011. These figures are very similar to those from research firm ISuppli, which predicts mobile gaming revenue to hit $6.623 billion by 2011. For 2007, it estimates a slightly lower figure of $2.854 billion, compared to Understanding & Solutions
