2016 Predictions for Mobile Gaming

Mobile gaming analyst Eric Seufert's end-of-2015 outlook argues that 2016 will be shaped by three trends from the prior year: app marketplace saturation making downloads harder to win, a resulting emphasis on cross promotion as a defensive tool for retaining users, and video advertising making light, viral "gimmick" apps…

  • The increasing reliance on video advertising will obscure traditional 'Top Grossing' chart rankings, as apps with lower chart positions may generate more revenue than higher-ranked peers through superior ad monetization.
  • Non-gaming apps, such as streaming and lifestyle services like Spotify, Pandora, and YouTube, are increasingly likely to displace games from the Top 5 Grossing positions in Western markets.
  • Established 'perennial' top-grossing titles like Candy Crush Saga, Game of War, and Clash of Clans face a high risk of permanently exiting the Top 10 as their own developers cannibalize their user bases with 'spiritual successor' sequels.
