So by your numbers (and lets say by several hundred million dollars a year you meant 200,000,000), the amount of money they are making per phone as about 50 bucks. That's not very impressive.

The average mobile game only costs about $5.00 or so. This stuff is a lot cheaper then the vast ripoff of console games.
