SuperData: Digital gaming hit $7.7 billion in April

Market researcher SuperData reports that April 2017’s gaming sales are down from March 2017, bringing in only $7.7 billion compared to March’s $8 billion. However, both the digital games and the mobile markets are still up year-over-year, showing respectively a 9 percent and an 8 percent growth from 2016. The free-to-play segment has also grown 27 percent.

The dip in revenue could possibly be due to a significant decline in sales for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Mass Effect: Andromeda. Both have dropped from the top-10 highest-grossing for console, perhaps due to disappointing reviews.
