A Game-Changer for Apple Inc. (AAPL)

I recently spoke with NVIDIA’s Rob Csongor about Shield, and he noted how large the third-party gaming accessory market has become. Existing solutions aren’t exactly convenient and integrated, which NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) sees as an opportunity. Csongor also said that 76% of all Google Play revenue comes from gaming titles, presumably referring to estimates from App Annie for domestic game spending on Google Play in December. That figure is even higher in other countries — 88% in Japan and 95% in South Korea.

On iOS, 16 of the top 20 grossing apps are currently games, of which an overwhelming 15 are freemium titles that bank on in-app purchases. Mobile gaming is here to stay, and including hardware controller support in iOS will be a literal game changer.
