Newzoo and Distimo announced that they are extending and expanding their long running partnership. Newzoo will publish new rankings featuring the top 20 best performing countries in terms of mobile game revenues and will cover iPhone, iPad and PlayStore stores.
“Newzoo has been working with us and our data for two years now and knows this inside-out,” commented Vincent Hoogsteder, CEO at Distimo. “We believe the strength of this partnership is combining Newzoo’s expertise in the global games market with our data to put our store data into a broader perspective for leading game companies that use our AppIQ data.”
“Distimo’s unique tech and methodology provides us and our clients with the most accurate and complete data on app stores available,” adds Peter Warman, CEO at Newzoo. “The new AppIQ dashboard now also makes it the most actionable app data on the planet, where others still rely on huge Excel files with no trending insights. Mixing this data with our own research across all business models, screens and continents is where we see the biggest value added. ”
Some of the key takeaways from the March report is that Korea tops the charts for PlayStore just ahead of Japan, while the U.S. is still number one for iOS. China has also surpassed U.K. in iOS spending based on the revenues of the top 200 grossing game.
