EA's The Simpsons: Tapped Out makes $23 million in 3 months

Topping the bill in the latest financials from Electronic Arts is news of the publisher's continued success on smartphone, with The Simpsons: Tapped Outon iOS leading the line.

The firm has revealed that, using non-GAAP figures numbers prepared not using generally accepted accounting principles The Simpsons: Tapped Out generated $23 million in digital net revenue during the last quarter.

It currently has 3.2 million daily active users. 

Tapping to the top

No surprise that such a figure means the game was EA's top performing iOS for Q3 2013, though games and services for mobile and handhelds as a whole generated around $100 million in all up 18 percent year-on-year.

That means The Simpsons: Tapped Out accounted for almost a quarter of all revenue EA took across mobile and handhelds during Q3.

Such success means, according to COO Peter Moore, EA which owns both the PopCap and Chillingo labels, amongst others - remains the "#1 publisher on iOS worldwide for the year".

As an aside, EA's social platform Origin which spans multiple digital platforms now boasts 39 million users, 17 million of which are on mobile.
