Both Gameloft and EA have just released their financial results for q2 2008.

Revenues of the two main players in the mobile game arena are on par: 25.3M euros for Gameloft vs $44M for EA.

Interestingly, North America now accounts for a significant 29% of Gameloft worldwide revenues. The company is delivering an impressive list of games for new mobile platforms (iPhone, N-Gage,...) but also for consoles (a new revenue stream).

On the contrary, EA Mobile revenues are growing but represented still a limited 5.5% of EAs total revenue. Year on year, revenues increased by a significant 44% between q2 2007 and q2 2008.

I like this business because it is not as hyped as mobile music or mobile TV, but delivering more revenues than these 2 content categories combined...

Here is some press coverage of the Developer 08 mobile gaming conference.
