"We just recently announced 300,000 new daily installs and, less than one month later, we have already surpassed 400,000 new players on a daily basis.

Freemium revenue rose more than 70% last year, according to an Annie App and IDC report. Revenue from paid apps' in-app buys sank 24%...

...Outside the U.S., the mobile games winner may be China's Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY). The operator of the WeChat and QQ messaging services and Alibaba's (NYSE:BABA) archrival generated $1.92 billion in mobile and online gaming revenue in the fourth quarter, 56% of its total.
