For the first time ever, Electronic Arts (EA), the world's third-largest gaming company, gained more revenue through Apple than any other single partner. All-told, the company's mobile and tablet revenue hit $90 million last quarter, representing 18 percent of its overall takings. Digital revenue in general grew to $378 million, meaning less than a quarter of EA's $495 total revenue came from traditional sales. http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/24/4552036/ea-biggest-retail-partner-last-quarter-was-apple

One little tidbit you left out of your story was: "The company generated $90 million in mobile revenue last quarter, though it didn't say how that was split between Android and iOS." In other words, they had a great quarter because of a push through Apple's I store, but they aren't telling us how much of those sales were on Android devices because they're kissing Apple's ass to generate more sales. Stay tuned, the truth will come out soon. Edited July 24, 2013 by little_old_man Awards

Stay tuned, the truth will come out soon. If you take the average revenue $$ for online sales that Apple has vs Android and just use that we'll probably have a good estimate already. I predict EIGHTY million of that was Apple's and I'm probably low. Edited July 24, 2013 by PingLo
