And though video games may make up 75 percent of the overall mobile software sales since 2010, they accounted for just under 50 percent of all mobile software downloads worldwide in 2017.
The past year saw the Apple App Store earning 30.5 billion downloads worldwide, though video games only accounted for around 9.4 billion of those downloads.
Even more interesting is a chart breaking down 2017’s overall mobile software sales and downloads, with Asia-Pacific territories accounting for a whopping 66 percent of all iOS game sales.
This figure is remarkable for a number of reasons: not only do video games make up the vast majority of mobile software sales, they manage to do so while only accounting for 31% of all mobile software downloads since 2010.
