4 days old but I didn’t see anyone (literally) talking about this analysis from Newzoo
Newzoo released a new report focusing on game companies’ revenue and growth in the last 12 months. This report shows that the top ten game companies generated $126 billion in revenue. It also shows how mergers and acquisitions will change the industry: If the Microsoft-Activision acquisition had happened a year earlier, the company would have edged out Sony and Apple.
Newzoo also noted that Microsoft was showing decent growth as well, especially compared with its competitors: 9.6% vs Nintendo’s 1.9% and Sony’s negative numbers. It attributes this to the success of the Game Pass service, which recently passed the 25 million-subscriber mark. Also, it pointed out that Nintendo and Sony are seeing a bit of a bust following the pandemic boom of 2020.
