According to Rovio’s own blog,Angry Birds Spacehas just hit 50 million downloads in a little over a month. They also state that the game broke all of their previous sales records (which are probably mobile wide, and set by Rovio themselves), and is obviously a rip-roaring success. In addition to some earned boasting, the blog also hints that “something even bigger is on the way.”Angry Birds Space Seasons, perhaps?
While it would be easy to look at the success of theAngry Birdsfranchise solely from a digital angle, the IP itself is still fairly popular in brick and mortar stores. It seems as if every science-oriented retail outlet has gotten their mitts onAngry Birds Spacemerchandise as well.
Just last week I was at the Seattle Space Needle, and they hadAngry Birds Spacemerch, complete with crowds of people pointing and going “that’s the iPhone game!” For all youAngry Birdhaters out there,this isn’t going away anytime soon. Mark my words, your future children will be begging for a Red Bird plushie one day!
