Asian online revenues to top $2.5 billion

Report finds ten online publishers in region hit $100 million mark

Online gaming is big business everywhere, but in Asia revenues are expected to grow by around 20 per cent from last year to USD 2.5 billion by the end of next year.

According to a new report from Pearl Research, entitled "Online Game Publishers in Asia" ten publishers crossed the USD 100 million mark in 2006.

Vivendi recently posted its financial results, including large revenues which can be attributed to World of Warcraft's continuing success, with a number of other high profile franchises either recently launched, or due to market in the West in the next year.
