develop 100

Develop 100 ranks the world’s games development studios based on the revenues their products made at UK retail in 2007. This year, not surprisingly, the top honor goes to Nintendo and I have listed the Top 20 here for you.

  1. Nintendo (£129.83m)
  2. EA Canada (£68.78m)
  3. Ubisoft Montreal (£52.17m)
  4. Konami (£41.67m)
  5. Infinity Ward (£39.6m)
  6. EA Black Box (£37.31m)
  7. Maxis (£36.84m)
  8. Bungie (£31.45m)
  9. Sega Studios Japan (£27.7m)
  10. Traveller’s Tales (£27.06m)
  11. Ubisoft France (£25.37m)
  12. Yuke’s (£24.5m)
  13. Amaze Entertainment (£24.07m)
  14. EA LA (£22.49m)
  15. Capcom (£22.3m)
  16. Rebellion (£20.13m)
  17. EA Redwood Shores (£19.99m)
  18. Vicarious Visions (£17.56m)
  19. A2M (£17.5m)
  20. Hudson (£16.22m)

It was no surprise to see that EA took nine of the spots considering that they own many a gaming studio across the globe. Criterion, and BioWare which are also owned by EA were listed as well and maybe even a few that I missed. I expect EA to become the majority share holder for both Heaven and Hell eventually.
