More music than games
In-Stat estimates that music will oversell mobile games soon, simply because music appeals to a broader audience than games.
My spin is that this requires music services supported by the operators and phones enabled for DRM-protected downloading of music and a fast and cheap wireless connection. E.g. Motorola ROKR doesn't fulfill this, as you can't download any music via the network (only from a a PC) and hence the operator can't get any music download revenue on that phone. Obviously operators don't get any revenue from downloading music to PCs from iTunes and similar "off-limits" services.
