Games sales revenue in 2016: $91 billion.
Only mobile: $41 billion.

And +/- 1% of developers stay with +/- 99% of all.
And +/- 99% of developers stay with +/- 1% of all.

To be part of the first group:

- Focus on just one style, category, niche, audience.
- Making only one game for year (or for more than one year).
- Do not make games alone.

What else separates these two groups of developers?

It definitely improves your odds but am not sure capital alone is enough.  Some of these big budget games still blow up.
