Mobile 0.8 4.8
The bar chart compares the global revenue generated by mobile, online, and console games in
2010 and 2022, measured in billions of dollars.
Overall, mobile and online games experienced significant growth, whereas console games
showed a gradual decline. By 2022, mobile games accounted for the highest revenue, surpassing
both online and console formats.
In 2010, console games dominated the market with $5 billion in revenue. However, this figure
decreased gradually over the 12-year period, dropping to $3.9 billion by 2022. Despite this
decline, console revenue remained relatively stable from 2018 onwards.
In contrast, mobile games began with the lowest revenue at only $0.8 billion in 2010 but rose
dramatically to $4.8 billion by 2022, becoming the top category. Online games also showed
steady growth, rising from $1 billion to $3.9 billion over the same period.
The data clearly illustrates a shift in consumer preferences toward more accessible, portable, and
internet-based gaming platforms. While traditional console gaming declined slightly, its stable
performance in later years suggests it still holds relevance among certain users.

The two pie charts compare the percentage of global revenue generated by console, online, and
mobile games in 2010 and 2022.
Overall, the distribution of revenue shifted dramatically over the 12-year period, with mobile and
online games increasing their shares substantially, while console games saw a sharp decline.
In 2010, console games accounted for the majority of global revenue at approximately 64%,
clearly dominating the market. In contrast, mobile games contributed only 10%, making them the
smallest segment, while online games held around 13%.
By 2022, the situation had reversed. Mobile games became the largest revenue source,
generating 43% of the total market, closely followed by online games at 35%. Meanwhile,
console games experienced a steep drop in revenue share, falling to just 22%.
This significant shift reflects changing consumer preferences, with gamers increasingly favoring
accessible mobile and internet-based platforms over traditional console gaming.

The line chart compares the trends in global revenue generated by mobile, online, and console
games from 2010 to 2022, measured in billions of dollars.
Overall, mobile and online games saw continuous growth, while console game revenue declined
initially but remained stable in the later years. Mobile games became the top-earning category by
the end of the period.
In 2010, console games accounted for the highest revenue at $5 billion. However, the figure
declined steadily until 2016, dropping to $4 billion, and then remained stable at $3.9 billion from
2018 to 2022, indicating a plateau in performance.
Conversely, mobile games started at only $0.8 billion but experienced the sharpest growth. By
2018, they matched console revenue and continued rising, ultimately generating $4.8 billion in
2022. Online games also showed consistent growth, increasing from $1 billion in 2010 to $3.9
billion by 2022.
These trends highlight a clear shift toward mobile and online platforms, likely due to increased
accessibility and internet penetration. Console games, while declining in dominance, remained
relevant through a stable core audience.
