blackberry operating system, Research in Motion, sales to end users by 3Q11 is only
11% in comparison to Android, and Symbian. The highest smartphone sales was for

7. Can we use Nielsen data on TOP PC Game Titles to create mobile specific
applications?
The latest Nielsen data shows that there are PC enabled game titles that would really
work if we look at their share, and average minutes played per week. The game titles
are world of warcraft, warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, Lord of the Rings(Online Shadows
of Angmar) and League of legends (Riot Games)
These are the top PC game titles that were rated as really high on share, and
average minutes. There is a company, TMP that provides percentage on each of the
average minutes, and that’s a metric through which PC games performance can be
shared. All these games are non-casual.
