SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - June 1, 2009) - According to the most recent comScore
data, Mochi Media's network of
online Flash games reached more than 91 million people worldwide in April,
making it the No. 1 online games property in the world. comScore also
ranked Mochi Media's network eighth in U.S. reach. Combined with
WildTangent, which Mochi Media recently partnered with for U.S. sales, the
Mochi Media and WildTangent network together create the largest U.S. online
games network by combined reach. April was the first month that Mochi Media
was included in the Online Gaming category in comScore's monthly reports.
Mochi Media's Flash games network reached over 91 million worldwide
visitors in April or nearly 10 percent of the more than 1.1 billion total
online games audience. Mochi Media had higher worldwide traffic than sites
and networks such as Spil, Yahoo! Games, Oberon, MSN Games, EA and MTV --
Spil is ranked No. 2 with traffic of 48.9 million. The viral nature of
Mochi Media's advertising and distribution platform allows for quick,
organic growth as games gain in popularity and are spread for free
throughout gaming portals, blogs and Web sites.
In addition, Mochi Media was also ranked eighth in comScore's U.S. traffic
numbers with 16.2 million unique visitors, reaching 8.4 percent of the
nearly 193 million U.S. gaming audience. Likewise, Mochi Media's domestic
traffic in April when combined with that of WildTangent creates the largest
U.S. gaming network with over 30 million visitors. Mochi Media and
WildTangent recently announced a deal to combine their U.S. sales and
distribution. Advertising.com was ranked No. 1 on the U.S. list, reaching
30.7 million unique visitors.
"This is extremely exciting data, both for the growth and maturity of Mochi
Media, and the status of the online Flash games industry," said George
Garrick, CEO of Mochi Media. "These numbers, and the huge growth we've seen
in the number of people playing online Flash games, represent the future of
gaming. As online Flash games get more sophisticated, and reach a broader
audience, the market will only continue to grow."
