In April, King company “captured” Facebook and mobile markets with the help of its latest hit Candy Crush Saga. At the same time, Zynga and Disney were losing their active users, according to VentureBeat with reference to Cowen and Co.
“Facebook’s King game, which debuted last November, ranks first in all mobile cash registers and first in DAU on Facebook, as well as second in revenue on Facebook, behind Zynga’s Farmville 2,” Doug Creutz, an analyst at Cowen and Co., wrote to investors. By all the box office tops, he most likely meant American ones.
Kreutz also noted that companies such as Electronic Arts, DeNA, Gree, Supercell and Kabam today, along with Zynga and Disney, are becoming leaders in the mobile market (thanks, cap). And King is one of the most significant players among them.
“Zynga.com “We estimate that in April the average number of players on Zynga’s native platform fell by 20% and by 33% since January.”
Kreutz also notes that Disney is experiencing difficulties: the company does not have a single project in the box office twenty. But Warner Bros. shows good results. Her fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us has been in the top ten of iPhone apps for two months.
