Abstract
Mobile gaming is tricky ground for marketers. On one hand, games have some of
the best engagement metrics among mobile content categories. On the other
hand, that engagement is not translating into sales.
The Mobile Games report analyzes the trends behind why consumers are so
excited about playing and so hesitant about paying.
Consumers like mobile gaming. Research shows they spend several minutes a
session with a mobile game, and frequently re-visit to play some more.
Moreover, consumers consistently report gaming is one of their favorite mobile
activities.
But, so far, marketers are unsure of mobile gaming' s potential as an
advertising platform.
However, in developing markets, mobile phones are already the de facto gaming
platform - and millions more consumers will start experiencing mobile games
with the introduction of new, improved handsets. Marketers would do well to
keep an eye on mobile gaming for these reasons alone.
