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“) :smile:

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 :smile: Howzabout y’all?
