O'Reilly Radar published a post yesterday with the results of an analysis of the US iTunes App Store by Senior Analyst Ben Lorica. Among other things, he looked at which publishers (with over 10 titles) had the highest success rate getting their titles onto the Top 100 Paid Apps list. The list is dominated by games publishers, with Gameloft and EA Mobile performing the best. It is somewhat ironic that Lorica labels the chart Most Efficient iPhone Developers... because Gameloft, while an awesome publisher, is usually considered famously inefficient... with their 4k or so employees contributing to a $42k rev/emp/yr figure, that's surely one of the worst in the business.
