This must ram home some lessons for the game industry worldwide:

• Online game distribution works far better for everyone (except retail) than plastic and cardboard distribution.
• This is more than ten times more games than on the Wii, PS3 and 360 combined, in a fraction of the time.
• You can distribute games globally without a publisher. So publishers need to find good reasons for their continued existence.
• There is a lot of untapped creativity out there. The console business model has been holding this back.
• New entrants to the hardware market can become major players very quickly.
• Apple are now very highly incentivised to produce their own home game console.
• Mobile gaming has moved on from the PSP and DS. Nintendo and Sony are now dinosoars in this market.
• Telephones are set to be the most popular gaming platforms on earth.

It will be very interesting to see if how and when Android catches up with this.
