EA Mobile Still Top MoGames Publisher



EA Mobile's revenues initially look somewhat positive within the bleakness of Electronic Arts' (ERTS) fiscal Q3 09 earnings announcement yesterday. GAAP revenue for the quarter (calendar Q4 08) was $48 mil, which is 23% growth year on year and 3% from the previous quarter. The release did not break out profitability by platform. EA Mobile continues to face stiff competition from Gameloft (GFT) which last week posted Q4 08 revenue of just over $43 mil with 31% year on year growth. For calendar 2008 here's how the competitors stack up:
EA Mobile = $181 mil
Gameloft = $143 mil
Notably, Gameloft has far more games available for the fastest growing gaming handset - the iPhone. Currently they have 28 titles in the iTunes App Store, while EA Mobile only has 10.
