According to FADE’s most recent report for the month ending July, 2009, we found the following key points:
- The iPhone gaming market controls $250 million USD in revenue since its launch in July of 2008, making it larger than any console’s digital game service (XBLA, PSN, WiiWare/VC)
- Of the 65,000 available applications, roughly 11,000 are games
- Although the 99 cent price point has been well reported on by the gaming media, many games above the price point have done very well
- The iPhone market is very top heavy (see chart #2) – FADE reports that between 10 and 15% of iPhone gaming titles take up 90% of revenue, making it critical for developers to take note of how the iPhone market works.
