EA vs Gameloft for games publisher top spot

EA and Gameloft just announced their financials for the last quarter of 2007, which lets us see how they did in respect of each other….
(note: there is some dollar/euro conversion fun going on here, as EA is US-HQ’d, where as Gameloft is based “dans le France“) 
For the WHOLE year, it was tight as you like; EA coming in at $144m, and Gameloft at $143 m (assuming conversion is correct). In Q407, Gameloft actually out-earned EA, with $38.4m vs $38m respectively.
Actually, it might be much fairer to say that these two companies came in pretty much neck and neck, across the board - BOTH posting impressive figures, and proving the market for mobile gaming.
If we look at their growth compared with 2006, EA are up 22%, whereas Gameloft uplifted a staggering 40% - now that is impressive!
Personally, I love a good mobile game -a quick-dip, finger-sizzling, time-killer works nicely for me Howzabout y’all?
