Mobile Gaming Is A Billion Dollar Industry

As a gamer, I don't see cellphones as gaming platforms. A lot of people disagree with me, apparently. A recent report revealed that mobile gaming in the U.S. has reached the billion dollar number, proving that mobile games are indeed profitable.

Though still in its infancy, mobile gaming is already a billion dollar industry in the US, reports In-Stat. ­With significant momentum already underway in the US and worldwide, In-Stat believes that mobile gaming will continue to be a key contributor to wireless data usage and revenues, the high-tech market research firm says. Still, the industry has significant challenges.

Unfortunately, the report doesn't reveal which titles proved to be the most successful. It would certainly be interesting to find out what games people are playing. If a list existed, I would expect to see casual games. Don't take that negatively though, I would love to be proven wrong on that one and see a more hardcore gaming-oriented list.
