The experts believe the industry will consolidate, as increasing customer acquisition costs create higher barriers to entry.

The note continued, stating the analysts think the winning companies will likely be those with differentiated product portfolios. The report reiterated preference for Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), which has plans to acquire King Digital Entertainment PLC (NYSE: KING).

Set For A ‘Big’ Quarter

According to Cowen’s research note, Electronic Arts' share rankings rose across the board, driven by robustness from "Star Wars: Galaxy Heroes" and "Madden NFL Mobile." Remarkably, "Madden NFL Mobile" displaced "Candy Crush Saga" from the third spot on iPhone in December.

In fact, the analysts calculate Electronic Arts may have seen ~50 percent sequential mobile revenue growth in its third fiscal quarter – results will be announced on January 26.
