All of the attention on Android-powered mobile gaming has paid off: Google
Play is now in second place behind iOS when it comes to mobile gamer
spending. A report from IDC and App Annie that tallies up Q2 2013 purchases
indicates that Google's app repository has surpassed gaming-specific devices
like Nintendo's 3DS and Sony's PlayStation Vita for the first time. The
numbers also show that funds spent in both iOS App Store and Google Play
combined account for around four times that of dedicated devices. It's worth
noting that there are a few more smartphones and tablets in the hands of
consumers than the aforementioned handhelds, but content for the latter
usually carries a higher price tag. Of course, integration with the next-gen
PS4 and a price cut is on the horizon for the Vita, so that functionality
could help boost Sony's numbers next time around.
