据悉，美国艺电（Electronic Arts）日前预测，今年全球手机游戏市场营收将达34亿美元，到2013年将达45亿美元。

EA还指出，今年亚洲手机游戏营收将达17亿美元，欧洲为7亿美元，美国是10亿美元；在美国和欧洲的17亿美元手机游戏营收中，将有10亿美元来源于智能手机领域，7亿美元来自功能性手机。

预计到2013年，欧美两地的手机游戏营收是23亿美元，其中智能手机游戏营收占18亿美元，功能性手机仅占5亿美元。

EA的这组预测数据很关键，因为这些数据与一些市场调研公司的预测结果颇有出入。

据PocketGamer报道，Gartner公司最近预测今年全球手机游戏营收将达56亿美元，到2012年将飙升至114亿美元。与此同时，Juniper公司也声称2009年的全球手机游戏营收是60亿美元，到2015年将达110亿美元。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

EA thinks mobile games market worth $3.4bn this year

Electronic Arts claims the global mobile games market will be worth $3.4 billion this year, rising to $4.5 billion in 2013.

This year, the publisher sees $1.7 billion of mobile games revenues being generated in Asia – this is the whole market, not just EA – with $0.7 billion in Europe and $1 billion in the US.

EA has also broken down the $1.7 billion of US and European revenues this year, predicting that $1 billion will come from smartphones, and $0.7 billion from feature phones.

By 2013, it sees $1.8 billion of the $2.3 billion of US/European mobile games revenues coming from smartphones, and just $0.5 billion from feature phones.

These predictions are important, because they undercut by a considerable margin what analysts have been saying.

As PocketGamer.biz points out, Gartner recently predicted $5.6 billion of mobile games revenues in 2010, rising to $11.4 billion in 2012.

Meanwhile, Juniper claims mobile games generated $6 billion of revenues in 2009, rising to $11 billion by 2015.（source:mobile-ent）
