People with smartphones are playing more games on their handsets… but the number of people gaming on non-smartphone devices is falling. Those are some of the findings from a study released this week by digital marketing intelligence company comScore.
The number of people playing games on 'feature phones' (i.e. not smartphones) fell by 35% between February 2009 and February 2010. This contrasts with a 60% increase in the number of smartphone gamers. However, with feature phones accounting for around 80% of the overall market, that resulted in an overall 13% drop in the number of mobile gamers.
