It kinda sucks that my favorite format, handheld is so low compared with the other hardware (yeah, I'm not considering mobile as handheld lol).

There were paid mobile games in 1995? Only game I knew of was snake, and that was free 🤔 The webpage doesn't shed any light on that.

I suppose you could argue that pre-installed games still counts as part of the market. Not sure how you'd could the value though. Like a small part of the phone cost?

Otherwise the earliest store/system seems to be i-mode in 1999.
