The analyst firm estimates App Store spending for the first half of 2021 alone to be $23.4 billion, $30% more than the same period a year earlier. Sensor Tower reports that $45 billion was spent on mobile games from the App Store throughout the fiscal 2020 year, around $13.5 billion of which went to Apple-a lot of money, yet still only 5% of the company's overall revenue for the year. It's worth noting that Apple, during the Epic trial, claimed the given operating margins were incorrect and didn't account for the many joint costs associated with the App Store, so the WSJ's numbers might be higher than the reality.

The surprising revelation comes from a Wall Street Journal report examining the App Store's profitability and how much of it comes from games.
Yet, Cupertino is estimated to have earned more in 2019 from games than industry giants Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, and Activision Blizzard combined. In a nutshell: We don't think of Apple as a gaming company, seeing as it doesn't actually make its own titles.
