Far from accurate, this must be compiled by a non-gamers.

For example, total iphone games are only 10337? Can't be possible, the real number should be at least X10!


Final numbers don’t seem believable. Steam alone has 50,000+ games listed.


Came here to say this. The numbers seem to off to me.


It doesn't matter how fancy your graph looks, if you don't say where the data comes from it is worthless.


Shout out to the people releasing Apple II games in the 2010s


#1 this chart is almost certainly inaccurate based on Steam numbers #2 Would be really interested in including Oculus Quest metrics in this chart!


Am I reading this correctly? The Nintendo Switch has 7154 games?


Well that would at least explain why it's so hard to find actually good games after you've worked through the usual contenders.

I've been feeling for a while now that Nintendo's e-shop has all the issues w.r.t. overpriced, sub-par games steam has, but without all the useful filtering possibilities and community moderation.

OTOH at least that also means that indies have less trouble making it to the console now.


More games for Mac than iPhone?
