Mobile to Take Lion's Share of Gaming Revenue for First Time

Mobile devices have been a huge source of games revenue for some time, with titles such as Candy Crush Saga and Clash of Clans hauling in huge sums for developers King and Supercell respectively. According to a forecast by Newzoo, 2018 will see the sector reach a symbolic milestone. With total revenue of $70.3 billion predicted, mobile games are expected to take the lion's share of the games industry's income - 51 percent. Consoles and PC's are left fighting over the (not insignificant) leftovers.
