Gameloft has announced to have claimed the top spot as mobile game publisher in the EU and EMEA. Until now, EA Mobile had held this honour since they bought Jamdat.
This news follows on the successful closing of Gameloft’s Q4 2008 and the release of similar data from competing companies in the market. Gameloft has placed itself on the first possition based on revenues collected. We wonder who is the biggest when looking at profits. Also, titles from platforms like the DS have been counted as well, and some competitors where having prodlems with the Euro to Dollar conversion.
“We have been out-performing our competitors and growing faster than the market for quite a while now; our recent number one position only confirms this long-running trend,” said Michel Guillemot, president, Gameloft. “This market will grow at a fast pace, with 4 billion consumers gaining access to our games by 2011. We will continue to strive for excellence and remain on the successful path that pushed us to #1 in Q4.”
