Tetris tops Top 50 bestselling mobile games of 2006

We can't say we're surprised. Tetris has consistently topped ELSPA's monthly mobile games chart, so the fact that it was the best selling title last year isn't a shock.

ELSPA compiled its Top 50 for 2006 in association with ChartTrack, and it's good news for EA Mobile, Gameloft and Glu Mobile. After Tetris, the top five consists of Sonic The Hedgehog: Part One, Deal Or No Deal, The Sims 2 and Worms.

But overall, the list provides a fascinating glimpse of what's selling (which isn't always the same as what's actually good, of course). The full list was published today by industry mag Mobile Entertainment, and is reproduced below.

Let us know what you think. We're most surprised at the lack of any games from Digital Chocolate, particularly Tower Bloxx, while firms like Infospace and THQ Wireless don't seem to have done too well. But the list provides plenty of food for thought.
