There are specifically four kinds of games depicted which are namely, mobile phone, online, console (,) and handheld games with handheld being the most popular (this is an explanation for a static graph, while you explain a dynamic graph like above, you should be talking about the time frame too). (Task 1 question tells you to summarize and report the main features so I suggest doing it in a separate paragraph)
Better If: The illustrated chart (Passive Voice) depicts the sales of four different kinds of electronic games in the international market between 2000 and 2006.
Overall (indication of your summarization), it is clear that except for the console game, the popularity of other games in the group was increasing over the period. (reporting the trends and exceptions without being specific)

Similarly, the sale of mobile phone games ranged from $3 billion in 2002 to $7 billion in just four years.
However, the global market witnessed a significant drop in the sale of console games, and this was half as much as in 2003, from approximately $6 billion in 2000 it shrank to under $3 billion in 2006.
