Take my money

A report posted by analyst firm Newzoo breaks down the different video games industry revenue streams.

Looking at four main segments (PCs, Consoles, Smartphones, Tablets & handhelds), the report answers how much money people spend on games and how these sectors compare to one another.

One of the more interesting statistics is that Tablet & handheld revenue has been falling year by year due to the increasing physical-sizes of smartphones.

VR is also not represented as yet, and falls under the other relevant parent categories.

You can check out the breakdown below (click to enlarge) or read the full report and methodology used here.
