Japanese social gaming industry blog “Social Game Info” posted an interesting chart today. The overview sheds a light on the financial performance of Japan’s six listed third-party social game developers on a quarter-on-quarter basis.

The companies are:

  • Voltage (focuses on social dating simulations)
  • Cave (GREE holds a stake in this company, which is known for plenty of non-social games, too)
  • Drecom (has become active in the US as of late)
