pocketgamer.biz 에서 세계 모바일 게임 Publisher들을 대상으로 순위 조사를 하였고 결과는 위와 같다. '장미빛 모바일 게임. 하지만 우리는...'에서 세계 모바일 게임 Publisher M/S를 소개한 적이 있는데, 순위권에 들어간 업체들은 크게 다르지는 않다.

하지만 MS에서 월등한 차이로 1위를 하고 있는 EA가 Gameloft에게 1위 자리를 내주은 것은 다소 흥미롭다. 양으로는 EA를 이길자가 없지만 게임의 질적인 면에서 Gameloft의 제품이 우위에 있다는 뜻이다. Gameloft의 한발 앞선 라이센스 전략과 높은 비주얼은 이미 정평이 나있는 상태이고, EA와 더불어 App Store 등의 스마트폰 시장공략에 적극적이었던 것이 사용자들에게 좋은 인상을 준 것 같다. 또한, 전세계 모바일 게임 라이센싱을 움켜쥐고 흔들었던 Capcom이 18위로 가장 하위를 차지한 것 또한 그들의 몰락을 의미하는 것 같아 눈에 띄인다.

이와 더불어 동사는 비슷한 시기에 2008년 가장 인기 있었던 게임 20위를 위와 같이 발표하였다. 위 Publisher 목록에도 들어가 있지 않은 Fishlabs가 Publishing한 'Rally Master Pro'가 9.43 으로 1등을 차지하였다. 해당 게임은 3D로 구성된 레이싱 게임이다.
