任天堂东京分部因《成人脑力锻炼》系列和《Wii Play》（日版名为《（第一次的Wii）》）等长期畅销游戏以及在业内的良好口碑而获得冠军；2007年全球最受欢迎的FPS游戏《使命召唤4：现代战 争》的开发商，Activision旗下开发小组Infinity Ward被评为第2名；拥有《星际争霸》、《魔兽世界》等PC平台名作的暴雪公司荣获季军。
从此次评选的整体结果来看，欧美开发商所占比重明显超过日本本土厂商，前10名中只有任天堂、Konami和Capcom三家上榜。另外， Activision与暴雪合并后，EA虽然被迫从原先全球最大第三方厂商宝座上退位，但在拥有的工作室数量和技术实力等方面依然有着无可争议的巨大优 势，前10名中有3家为EA旗下工作室（BioWare已被EA收购）。
