Gameloft: Exceeds all iPhone sales expectations in 2009

[shigzeo]

Great news for Gameloft, great news for gamers. The Paris-based company top 24$ million revenue for iPhone games in 2009 with 9.7$ million in the first quarter alone. If that ain't success, I don't know what is. Gameloft have been responsible for some of the biggest titles last year including: James Cameron's Avatar, Modern Combat: Sandstorm, Rogue Planet, Asphalt 5, Dungeon Hunter and many more.

It's easy to see why they have topped the ranks - they gather quality devs and publish great games. Three cheers to Gameloft.

Congratulations to Gameloft! Haters will probably argue that all their games are copied in concept in a way or another but for now, it does fill in the gaps in the app store with their high quality releases.

True. But since they copied concepts of games that people would like to play on the iDevice I have no real problem with that.

I love most Gameloft games - they make an excellent job. Though their marketing focus sometimes confuses me - i.e. the amount of pushing for Rogue Planet was next to nil.

Yes, one thing that I get off Gameloft's releases is that there is usually a set standard for their releases. It might not be the best, but certainly has some polish to it

Regardless of the whole "copying" and lack of originality, it at least shows that if you make a quality game, you can be quite successful and that's the most important part for me as a gamer.
Knowing you can be successful in the app store means we can continue to expect good games from good companies.

I have spent my share on their games. However, it's funny how some of their sports titles would come out right before EA's big releases, a couple of times at least.

Of the "big" companies, EA must be the most disappointing developer in my opinion. I've pretty much given up on them producing quaility and they're just using their brand and game brands to push the games, but eventually reality sets in and the game just sucks....

Well I only have 2 EA games, but both Rockband and Auditorium are fantastic games!

EA also make great replica board games. And while The Sims3 was much toned down from the original super RPG, it it very fun - but very limited.
