Recent eMarketer research shows that mobile gaming ad revenues will top $6 billion this year, up 14% from last year. A Statista report suggests that more than 42% of respondents spend six or more hours every week playing video games. Supply of the latest generation of video game consoles has been unable to keep up with demand, even a year and a half after those consoles hit the market.
