Explanation of Ranking: With revenues hovering around $400 million, Infogrames generates a significant amount of revenue. However, revenue growth is stagnant while it continues to record losses. In its favor, losses have narrowed from over $200 million in FY06 to only $80 million in FY08.

Infogrames has two main subsidiaries: Atari Europe and Atari, Inc., the former a U.S. company. Unlike many companies on this list, Infogrames derives most of its revenue (over 80%) from Europe and Asia. It publishes games from Namco Bandai, such as Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi 3 and Naruto Ultimate, both for the PlayStation 2. Atari's properties in the United States include Neverwinter Nights, Godzilla and the Backyard Sports series.

Infogrames placed a substantial bet on the success of the recently-released Alone In the Dark return. Despite this big bet, Infogrames stated in its last annual report that it expected to return to profitability within the next 18 months.
