Android beats Apple's iOS hands-down at the game of downloads - CNET

Well-played, Android.

Google's mobile software accounted for 82 share of mobile games downloaded during the second quarter of 2016, development company Unity3D said in a new report on Wednesday. That's a wide gap over the 17 percent of game downloads notched by Apple's iOS.

In certain countries, the lead is even more pronounced. During the second quarter, game downloads on Android devices in Indonesia racked up a share of 96 percent, while in South Korea and Brazil each eaed 92 percent.

Games are a hot commodity with mobile users, responsible for an estimated 85 percent of mobile app market sales last year, according to Unity. Android holds the lion's share of those games in large part because there are more Android devices in consumers' hands worldwide.
