Great, another thread turned into a circlejerk against EA.
Sony numbers are impressive, but what I'm most curious to see will be the Q4 figures for both Activision Blizzard ( BO4 + Destiny 2 DLC ) and TakeTwo (RDR2).

I don’t even know half these companies lol.

Damn, mobile is really big. I wonder what will happen to the industry when the mobile bubble bursts.

FIFA Ultimate Team

None of these numbers are "low". In fact they are insanely high and people still defend that certain payment models are "necessary". These companies are making literal billions on a comparably small work force.

Not sure why you compare videogames with cars 99.9% of people can't afford which is the reason for the low sales but I'm sure even with higher revenue Ferrari or Lamborghini wouldn't be in the list because they are part of  FIAT  Chrysler Automobiles and the Volkswagen Group so that the revenue of them is included in the top 10 at place 7 and 2

It will never pop, in the near future smartphone/tablet people will begin to be able to run PC-like games on their mobile devices through clould tecnologies like the one Microsoft is working on.

It's not a matter of power, it's a matter of growth and market saturation. Just look at companies like Zynga or Rovio, the moment their star game starts losing momentum, they get hurt way faster than regular gaming, due to the nature of their monetization.

Also, mobile gaming is too dependent of the asian market, and considering China adds and takes away draconian regulations on gaming all the time, many companies depending on the chinese market can go down fast.

This is not because one game in particular died in populatiry that the whole market is doomed. Revenues from mobile gaming only grew year by year in the last 5 years. If a game died, it just means people switched it to another, newer mobile game rather than stopped playing games on their devices forever.

Great doing Sony, massive, and MS have made quite the bang as well.
