| Quote: | The fifth annual countdown resulted in Nintendo taking the top spot previously held by four-time winner Electronic Arts.
"Adding reputation-based feedback to our survey for the first time has brought an interesting, more well-rounded angle to the much-anticipated countdown," said Simon Carless, publisher of Game Developer magazine and Game Developer Research series.
"As we can see from the new rankings, the rise of casual gaming, coupled with these new reputational elements, has contributed markedly to ranking shifts, and we’re eager to see how these industry changes affect the report in subsequent years."
Rounding out the top five publishers are Activision, Ubisoft, and THQ. Joining the list for the first time is import game publisher Atlus USA, which came in at number 18, helping to drop Atari out of the Top 20.
The rankings took into account the number of releases by SKU, average game review scores, and publisher revenue from August 2006 to July 2007.
The full countdown overview of the Top 20 Publishers 2007 is available in the October 2007 edition of Game Developer magazine. |
So basically when you take into account lack of innovation and evil monopolistic actions, EA doesnt look so hot anymore. |

Most EA games were just cheap stuff made for cash ins - just like the Yugioh Movies or all the Harry Potter games. Only Sims was kind os worthwi-*ripped apart* |

What about The Simpsons Game that's coming up? It's not based on the Movie, but it oughta be good, since Homer can do the Human Boulder Jutsu. But for sake of the lawsuits with Viz, they call it the Homerball. |

..I liked the Command & Conquer series. They went better until Yuri's Revenge, then it started getting bad. And then it went to C&C3.. and it sucked. |

no jutsus, in one episode, Homer states "<Disgruntled Moan> I wish I could eat everything in sight and turn into a ball!" |

Revenge for buying Bioware! EA games are crap. The animators suck, the storylines aren't that great and EA is the cheap type that is made for gamers that don't know what they want. |

Wait a second.
EA, at some point, looked hot?
As hot as the spawn of an orc and a Nosepass. |
