Gameloft sales up a dramatic 18% this year

by Alexander Sliwinski { Nov 3rd 2009 at 9:30PM }

Gameloft's mobile focus is keeping the company flush with cash in these tough times. The prolific publisher announced today that quarterly sales are up 15 percent over the third quarter last year and up 18 percent in year-to-date figures compared to the same period last year. Gameloft achieved $132 million in sales, with mobile devices accounting for 95 percent of revenue; the measly remainder was earned through consoles.

Gameloft tips its hat to the Apple App Store for the "huge success," as well as the company's Java and Brew games, with the expectation that sales and profitability will be up, up and away in 2009. Looking to the future, the company believes it will benefit from Apple, Nokia and Google's mobile devices. Gameloft comes from the proud tradition of releasing sales and profit reports separately, but the expectation is that profits will be positive, as well.

That's a ton of money. Never realized that many people purchased cellphone games.

gameloft makes some surprisingly high quality iphone games. most of them are ripoffs of console games, but i'm cool with that...

I own Naval Battle (aka Battleship) for the iPod and it is awesome. Seems like I've played something else by them as well...
