Tablet Gaming Revenue To More Than Triple By 2019

When it comes to gaming, do you prefer to play mobile games on your smartphone or your tablet? We guess it depends on personal preference since smartphones tend to be more portable, but at the same time tablets with their larger displays makes gaming a bit more engaging.

However according to a recent report from Juniper Research (via Re/code), it seems that they are expecting that tablet gaming will be growing in the future. As it stands, they are estimating that tablet gaming revenue will pull $3.6 billion in 2014 alone, but according to their predictions, they expect tablet gaming revenue to grow to as much as $13.3 billion in 2019.

They claim that that is because our devices are becoming more powerful and are able to store more data, and with mobile broadband starting to become more commonplace, it is expected that more gamers will eventually turn to their tablets for their gaming needs. Juniper Research also states that they expect the smartphone gaming to grow, although the majority of the growth will take place in emerging markets.

In any case what do you guys make of their report? Do you believe that tablet gaming will become the new standard of mobile gaming in the future? Or do you think that smartphone gaming is still the way to go?
