During a keynote presentation at today's BREW 2008 conference, Verizon Wireless' Lee Daniels put up a list of the Top 20 selling applications for the operator last month. And games are flying high.
Seven of the Top 10 were games. The full list folllows in order with games in bold:
1. Sony Music Box
2. ESPN MVP
3. Surviving High School 08 (pictured)
4. Univision Tomos
5. Pac-Man by Namco
6. Tetris
7. Little Shop of Treasures
8. Guitar Hero III
9. Diamond Detective
10. Zuma
11. Diner Dash 2
12. Univision Ringtones
13. Scrabble
14. Smarter Than a 5th Grader
15. WeatherBug
16. Mobile Banking
17. MyCast 5 Weather
18. AccuWeather.com Premium
19. America's Best Mobile Pix
20. TONEMAKER
So there you have it. I was taken with the number of games based on casual web games, and the lack of console / film titles bar the all-conquering Guitar Hero III.
Not that this is a surprise, but good to have the data to show it.
