The "Game Developer" magazine facing the industry published the top 20 game publishers before the year of October. Unlike the results of this magazine last year, this year's publishers are not ranked in their business income, and the main potential is pointed to, the reference standards include these distributors' third-party developers. , The average market response of the corresponding game software, the proportion of original game brands, and the development of the developer's survey report on the issuer's business situation. EA is ranked in the top of the top, and then the Microsoft game production room and the SCE are after scale or development potential. There are different reasons in the list of these three companies. For example, the original brand proportion of EA is small, accounting for approximately 3%. Its main reason is that EA has long been relying on some big brands. However, EA's operating income is the best in all companies and has achieved a third-party developer almost perfect score.
In contrast, the original brand of the Microsoft game production room (about 56%), about 78% of the game is produced by the third party developer, and Microsoft also has a good reputation in third-party developers.
Sony's original game is also very rich, accounting for 38%. Most of the game is developed by its own production room, but there are still 44% of the game outsourcing. Sony's internal developers have very high evaluation of the company, and third-party developers are also very high.
In these publishers, there are quite famous gamers' rankings, main reason is that they are only good at certain game types, lacking the strength of long-term stable development. Rank 8 Take Two has a strong lineup including GTA new work, but its business focus is more than one, and there is less original brand, and the evaluation from internal and external developers is also mixed. Although the strength of Nintendo is powerful, but lacks original brand, it always rely on continued survival.
