The bar chart illustrates the global sales of four types of digital games, namely mobile phone, online, console and handheld games, between 2000 and 2006. The figures are given in billions of dollars.
Overall, sales of handheld games were the highest throughout the period and increased considerably. In contrast, console games experienced a steady decline. Mobile phone and online games started with almost no sales but showed significant growth.
In 2000, handheld games generated about $11.5 billion, compared with $6 billion from console games. Handheld game sales then rose gradually, reaching approximately $15 billion in 2003 and $16 billion in 2004 and 2005. Finally, they climbed sharply to around $18 billion in 2006.
Console game sales followed the opposite trend. They fell from $6 billion in 2000 to about $5 billion in 2002 and then declined steadily to only $2.5 billion in 2006.
Meanwhile, mobile phone and online games became increasingly popular. Mobile game sales rose from almost zero in 2001 to $7 billion in 2006, while online games reached approximately $9.5 billion in the final year.
