Confirming what seems to be an obvious trend, the number of smartphone gamers has skyrocketed 60 percent to 21.4 million, according to a new comScore report.

Perhaps more surprising, this was offset by a 35 percent decline in the number of mobile gamers among feature phone owners. Since the latter represents 80 percent of the market, the numbers combined to result in a 13 percent decline overall for mobile gaming in the U.S. over the past year.

The report also said that smartphone subscribers are three times more likely than feature phone subscribers–47.1 percent versus 15.7 percent–to play games on their devices at least once per month. Smartphone owners were five times as likely to play games almost every day, and “far surpass” feature phone owners across various methods of gameplay.
