The chart below shows the global sales of different kinds of digital games from 2000 to 2006.

dollars
in four categories of video games
; namely mobile phone games
, online games
, console games
, and handheld games
, over the period of seven years from 2000 to 2006.
From the statistics, it can be inferred that handheld games
made up the highest consumption and experienced a slight rise throughout the period shown. In stark contrast, individuals lost their tendency in console games
and the figure reached half of the initial sales by the end of last
year.
In 2000, It is noticeable that there weren’t any online or mobile games
and online games
emerged in 2001 at just under 1 billion
dollars
. Then
, after a high rivalry between them in 2002, it seems they sold the same number of around 1.5 billion
dollars
, cell phone games
overtook the latter and reached 3 billion
dollars
. But, in 2006, online games
won this
rivalry, and people bought more online games
at 9 billion
dollars
.
Overall
, while
folks used handed games
under double that of console games
in 2000, this
comparison saw the biggest difference span in 2006 and the amount of money spent on handheld games
is 2.5 times more than console games
which reached 18 billion
dollars
and under 3 million dollars
, respectively.Submitted by Poseidous on
