Gaming Revenues Shifting Away from Consoles

US Video Game Sales Revenues, by Type, 2009-2011 (billions)
U.S. video game sales totaled $24.75 million in 2011, mostly on traditional content to be played on dedicated gaming consoles, NPD Group data indicates. 

But spending is slowly migrating from console games to non-traditional and more-casual game formats, according to eMarketer.

Between 2009 and 2011, revenues for computer and console games shrank from $10.6 billion to $9.3 billion, for example. 

Games delivered by mobile apps, social networks, downloads and other channels were the newer formats.
