Nielsen has released their top 10 mobile games for the U.S. operator market in 2008. Not surprisingly, Tetris is still leading the charts with an overall revenue of 7.0%.
1.7.0% Tetris
2.4.0% Bejeweled
3.3.6% Guitar Hero III
4.2.6% Wheel of Fortune
5.2.5% Pac-Man
6.1.9% The Oregon Trail
7.1.7% Ms. Pac-Man
8.1.6% Are You Smarter Then…
9.1.6% Tetris Mania
10.1.2% Surviving High School
This chart clearly shows the strong value of brands on the U.S. operators decks. The fact that there are two Tetris and Pac-Man related titles says it all. The U.S. consumer did not change in 2008.
