GREENBELT EVERYONE HAS ITS
FIRST SHOW COVERAGE OBLIGATION,
A VIDEO GAME GENERATED A RECORD
109.4 BILLION WORLD ONE IN
2019. THAT'S A 3% JUMP FROM
2018. ACCORDING TO NIELSEN THE
MOBILE MARKET ALSO DROVE NEARLY
60% OF SPENDING FOR THE YEAR.

AXIOS THE DOW GREAT TO HAVE YOU

EARNING GAME ARE ALL BACK IN
2018. SO DID A KEEPER
TOP SPOT LAST YEAR IN 2019.
>> IT DID KEEP THE TOP SPOT IN
EVEN THOUGH A SALES WERE DOWN
IT WAS AT 2.4 BILLION IN
2018 WENT DOWN TO ONE 0.8
BILLION IN 2019 BUT THAT'S
STILL THE TOP EARNER
OF ALL.
>> THE DIGITAL VIDEO GAMES ALL
RIGHT MARK DOUBLE PRETTY
REMARKABLE STILL REIGNS SUPREME
BUT WHY DID IT FALL.

PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CUT FROM HIS
PERFORMANCE HERE.
>> FIRST CAME OUT IN
2017. I'M SO YOU
KNOW I I GUESS THAT'S JUST KIND
OF A NATURAL TRAJECTORY.
BUT YOU KNOW WHILE
IT FELL IN THAT AREA THERE WAS
A 3% JUMP OVER ALL FOR ALL
VIDEO AS YOU STATED IT IT WAS
100. 106 BILLION IN 2018 AND IT
WAS 109 BILLION THIS YEAR
THAT'S A ABOUT 3% JUMP WHICH
THAT'S COMING FROM A SUPER DAD
AGREE,
BUT NIELSEN A SHOW WAS THE
BIGGEST MARKET FOLLOWED BY
NORTH AMERICA AND EUROPE
AND ONE TREND WE DID SEE WAS
FREE TO PLAY SO THINK LIKE
CANDY CRUSH HONOR OF KINGS FREE
TO
PLAY GAMES. DOMINATED THE
MARKET THERE WERE ABOUT 80% OF
THIS YEAR.
>> AND YEAH AND I WANT TO GET
TO THAT BECAUSE THOSE FREE TO
FREE A PLEA MOBILE

YEAR WHAT IS ABOUT THOSE FREE
TO PLAY MOBILE GAMES THAT
ATTRACTED SO MANY PEOPLE.

OF ALL AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS
THEY'RE FREE. BUT THIS YEAR WE
SAW A BIG RISE IN WHAT THEY
CALL THE
TRIPLE A FRANCHISES SO THESE
ARE
THE BIGS STUDIO FRANCHISES DAY

INVOLVED IN THAT SOMETHING THAT
CHANGED
THIS YEAR.

MOST PEOPLE

AMERICA AND EUROPE, SO THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD
IS THAT THOSE 3 REGIONS WHERE

TOP 3.

ENTERED IN THAT SPIRIT
2019 IS THIS AREA MOBILE GAMING

THE PRESIDENT THAT MOBILE
GAMING IS THE PRESIDENT'S IT
BROUGHT IN ABOUT 60% OF ALL
THE CASH ALL
DIGITAL VIDEO GAMES AND 2019

SIGNIFICANT SHARE OF THE
OVERALL MARKET YOU COULD SAY
IT'S NOT IT'S THE NOW.

GAMING IN 2019 QUESTIONS ABOUT
