Off-Deck mobile game sales: where are they?

As reported by mocoNews, this report from Telephia itemizes the average price paid for mobile applications and the number of consumers who downloaded them during the Q2 period of 2007. moco notes that games are not mentioned.

Interesting report, but after reading it I think moco could have done a better job with its analysis. This report appears to be centered on applications not including games; basically they are ignoring games.

We (Movaya) are simply waiting for a report JUST on games, especially concerning off-deck sales. The mobile gaming industry is at a crossroads right now, with carrier sales running flat, and off-deck sales stuck in the early adopters rut. In the near future, however, off-deck game sales will explode, and this will be due to large online retailers selling games, which produces wide consumer adoption rates. That will be a nice day!
