DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/416094/mobileportable_ga) has announced the addition of the "Mobile/Portable Gaming: Market Updates" report to their offering.

Consumers have become increasingly used to portability for all types of media, especially games, said Pietro Macchiarella, Research Analyst. This year may be remembered as the year of portable gaming thanks to the launch of a plethora of high-quality devices, such as tablets, smartphones, and portable consoles (the Nintendo 3DS and Sony's NGP).

Apple's App Store and new services such as Amazon Android App store and Sony PlayStation Suite increasingly facilitate digital distribution of games on all these devices.
