> Flash market is still there, and it's growing.

Do you have a reference for this? Not that I have a reference to the contrary, but I'm not getting this impression at all based on the increasing number of sites that I see supporting HTML5 (more and more sites work on iOS devices).

At one point, most multimedia sites wouldn't work on iOS devices. Now, I only run into these occasionally, and it seems to be less and less frequently that I do.

EDIT: Actually, according to this[1], the Flash market is indeed shrinking. Assuming this is accurate, of course.

Aside of asking for details of few high profile developers and sponsors, no. They have extremely widely distributed and viewed network of games, so I'm fairly confident in the accuracy of those trends reported.

Another interesting point they've raised is fairly low overlap of mobile and flash gamer demographics (which impacted their cross-promotion attempts).

EDIT IN RESPONSE TO EDIT:

Market and distribution are not neccesarily correlated, prime example being iOS vs Android. In Flash game market, this is reflected in ever increasing quality of games published.
