    "Here are some market facts for one of our top selling SpinTop Hidden
Object games over its first 12 months (nov '07 - Oct '08 - so the data is
very recent): *** No online channel represented more than 22% of the game's
sales. *** The top 6 channels represented 80% of the game's sales."
 
    Best,

Thank you James!

Am surprised such information is not available... knowing there is a lot of
competition between portals.
Anyhow if there is someone who can shed some light you are welcome to send a
private message.

I can be reached at games AT itworks.ec

I am a game developer (rather new) and would like to better distinguish the
game portals. For me it is important to know what market share a portal has,
since some portals offer exclusives and others won't even take your game if
you have had an exclusive with a different portal. Difficult to make a
decision without such information...

Thank you!

Santiago B. Soljanic

I assume you are referring to CasualCharts.com.  That will tell you which
games are most popular and which types of games.  But it will net tell you
which portals are most popular.  

 

I don't think anybody is going to publicly disclose which portal sells the
most copies of their game.  They are probably under an NDA that prevents
this.  But you may get someone to send you a private message with some
guidance.
