Small Publishers Winning Mobile Gaming Race

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday December 7, 2005 @08:33AM from the agile-development dept.

Next Generation reports on the Mobile gaming market, and the reality that so far small publishers are beating out large companies in releasing titles and growing the market. From the article: "During 2005, the Western markets of Europe and in particular the US have seen rapid growth - now accounting for 52 percent of mobile games revenues. The report argues that console and PC game publishers are being eclipsed in the market by companies dedicated to mobile games. Jamdat of the U.S. and Gameloft of France accounted for almost 30% of games download revenues in the U.S. and Europe during 2004."

I don't really see how Jamdat counts as a small company when they can afford to pay $100 million to license Tetris. And Gameloft was founded by the Guillemot family of Ubisoft fame.
