任天堂東京分部因《成人腦力鍛煉》系列和《Wii Play》（日版名為《（第一次的Wii）》）等長期暢銷游戲以及在業(yè)內(nèi)的良好口碑而獲得冠軍；2007年全球最受歡迎的FPS游戲《使命召喚4：現(xiàn)代戰(zhàn) 爭》的開發(fā)商，Activision旗下開發(fā)小組Infinity Ward被評為第2名；擁有《星際爭霸》、《魔獸世界》等PC平臺名作的暴雪公司榮獲季軍。
從此次評選的整體結(jié)果來看，歐美開發(fā)商所占比重明顯超過日本本土廠商，前10名中只有任天堂、Konami和Capcom三家上榜。另外， Activision與暴雪合并后，EA雖然被迫從原先全球最大第三方廠商寶座上退位，但在擁有的工作室數(shù)量和技術(shù)實力等方面依然有著無可爭議的巨大優(yōu) 勢，前10名中有3家為EA旗下工作室（BioWare已被EA收購）。
