EA Mobile: Can the Giant Climb to the Top?
EA Mobile has grown into a slowly expanding billion-dollar business since 2015, yet it has not broken into the top 10 mobile publishers and underperforms its potential.
- EA Mobile has failed to break into the top 10 global mobile publishers, despite its significant resources and IP portfolio, because it relies on a console-style release model rather than the mobile-first strategy of continuous live operations.
- EA's mobile download growth has stagnated, with 2017 projected to be the first year of year-on-year decline due to a lack of new free-to-play releases in the first half of the year compared to six launches in the same period of 2016.
- While 2016 revenue grew by over 33% driven by 'Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes' and 'Madden Mobile', growth slowed in early 2017 as major titles like 'Plants vs. Zombies Heroes' and 'FIFA Mobile' failed to meet performance expectations.

- Continuous, high-precision gameplay—a staple of console titles like NBA 2K17—translates poorly to mobile touch interfaces, creating an inferior user experience compared to console and PC platforms.
