Posted on at


The time 5 years ago, you didn't have people living outside China ever listen to the name Tencent. But today, the company is leading the list of the top 25 game companies for the highest grossing venue in the world.
Table-based lists are updated by Newzoo market research facility, the top 25 highest grossing game company in the world to include all the publishers and leading platforms such as Tencent, Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Sony, Apple, Google and Facebook. Compare the combined result between these giant companies through food is very impressive, and gives us a deeper insight about the changing of the gaming industry within 5 years.
Presently, Tencent is China's largest Internet company with the platform as send messages and chat service QQ mobile WeChat. In China, it is the Publisher of the online game such as Crossfire or League of Legends, and it is also the Publisher of the multitude of mobile game. As of the first half in 2015, Tencent has 4.2 billion revenue, and this number has reached 7.2 billion dollars in the year 2014. Back to 2011, Tencent only stand Friday with 2.5 billion of revenue in the ranking of Newzoo.

The last few years, Tencent is becoming famous in the West by the great investment affair on Activision Blizzard, Epic Games, Riot Games, Glu Mobile, Miniclip and Pocket Gems. Thanks to the perfect combination of business Internet services and game, Tencent are having a market value of up to 220 billion dollars and in the top of the world's largest companies.
For comparison, the second position in the company, the Publisher of the Call of Duty brand-Activision Blizzard (if the computer is included after the acquisition of the King) just got the market value at the rate of 27.2 billion dollars. King himself was not even in the top 25 in 2011, and now it is at number 10 in the first half of the year 2015.In 2011, Activision Blizzard has reached 4.7 billion dollars in revenue, and in the year 2014, it reached 4.4 billion dollars in revenue. And in the first half of the year 2010, Activision Blizzard has reached 2.3 billion dollars in revenue, and when traders buy back the King officially closed, it will move from fifth to second in the rankings of Newzoo.
As what the numbers on the shows, the gaming industry has become the business of the Giants. But this chart is primarily focused on the game, and the companies are not doing mainstream game yet to get lucky in this industry. Disney has ever reached the 15th position in the ranking for 2011, and revenue until 2014 contest it still only stop at number 15.
Meanwhile, Warner Bros. are having a successful year thanks to the series of food products such as Dying Light, Batman: Arkham Knight, Mad Max and Lego Dimensions. In 2014, Warner stands in 11th position, and we went up to number 8 on the charts. If back in 2011, it is even not enough to register on the list.
Although this list has a lot of "Giants", but at the same time it is also very hard to guess and full of surprise. Ubisoft, who stands at number 9 in 2011 and the 10th position in 2014, has completely disappeared in the top 25 companies in the first half our game in 2015."The obvious traditional publishers are still trying to adapt to the new business rule in the industry and is still too dependent on the holiday," said Peter Warman, CEO of Newzoo, said."Ubisoft will certainly top 25 as of year's end, but they will need a ' turn ' ultra strong Christmas period to not be revenue declines at all in 2015. If the second half of this year was reduced by 60%, their sales will drop to under $ 1 billion. "
Within the last 4 years, we have witnessed many companies get rich thanks to the mobile game. However there are still those companies have yet to adapt this story for as Konami, they number 7 in 2011, but had dropped to no. 21 in the year 2014 and is currently at number 20 in the first half of the year 2015. In addition, we also have many companies appeared in the list in 2011, but the date was missing completely as NHN, Neowiz, Capcom, THQ and Shanda.
