Develop have created a Power List of the world's games companies, based upon their 2006 revenue at UK pay points. Not surprisingly, most of the the top 10 is dominated by the major players, with EA and Nintendo grabbing the top 2 slots. The first pleasant surprise slides in at number 5: indie studio Traveller's Tales, creators of Lego Star Wars and The Chronicles of Narnia, squeezes in before GTA (PSP) makers Rockstar Leeds and any of the Sony studios.
Number 8 is a bit of a mystery; does anyone know Japanese developers Yuke's?
Best feel-good moment: Brighton-based Relentless Software shows that its staff need not be overworked to be important players in the games industry space. They're at number 20.
