China is about to overtake America in mobile gaming revenue

While the United States has led the world in mobile gaming revenue for years, it looks like China could come in and steal the crown sometime next year. Mobile gaming has always been more popular in Asia than in the West for a number of reasons. Pair that with the fact that China has several times the population of the United States and has more people buying smartphones every year than any other country on the planet, and it’s no surprise that the country’s mobile gaming revenue is expected to reach nearly $8 billion by 2016.
