哪些公司是全球顶尖的手机游戏开发公司？他们开发的手机游戏究竟能够获益多少？这是很多人共同期待的问题。

据pocket gamer的数据称，EA Mobile、Gameloft、Glu Mobile、Gamevil和Com2uS五家公司公布的财报数据显示营收总额为5亿9400万美元。其中EA Mobile年营收能力为2亿1400万美元，来自法国的Gameloft年营收也在1亿7000万美元的高度，最近正在强力转型的Glu Mobile也有7190万美元的收益，而来自韩国的两家公司Com2uS和Gamevil则分别有2580万和2380万美元的入账。

其他诸如日本的Namco Mobile、英国的Chilingo以及美国的Digital Chocolate因为财报的问题暂时还没有披露具体的营收数额。

Cabana Mobile博客预测，这十家手机游戏开发公司的年度营收总额将达到7亿美元左右。

Who are the biggest companies when it comes to mobile games and how much money do they collectively make? That’s the question consultant Jeremy Laws has been pondering on his Cabana Mobile blog.

Some of the information is easy to pin down.

For example, publicly traded outfits such as EA Mobile, Gameloft, Glu Mobile, Gamevil and Com2uS are legally obliged to release their quarterly earnings. That accounts for $594 million.

How big’s the pot?

Others are harder to work out, either because the mobile revenues aren’t broken out of general earnings, such as Namco Bandai, or because they are private companies.

Laws, who has previously worked at Universal Mobile Entertainment, has made some guestimates however, at least in terms of relative position.

As you can read in the comments section on Cabana Mobile, we’ve also had a discussion about Japanese behemoth DeNA – which looks like it will have annual sales of $1 billion in 2010, although that’s not all games.

I’d be surprised if Chillingo’s sales were more than $20 million too, while ngmoco could feature on the list – well, this time next year perhaps.

Feel free to add your tuppence into the debate.（source：pocket gamer）
