According to London-based consultancy Screen Digest, mobile phone gaming also will grow by more than six times to $6.4 billion between 2004 and the end of decade. <br /><br />"Currently, Japan and Korea are well ahead of North America and Europe in market size, accounting for nearly 80 percent of all revenues derived from video game play and game downloads, Screen Digest said on Thursday."<br /><br />Video game and mobile phone companies may be making more money this year, but it's the mobile gamers who will be having more fun this year. ;-)
