Angry birds on consoles
Rovio, the developer behind the multi-million unit-selling mobile phone game, Angry Birds, says its working on versions for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. There are no release dates yet for any of the console versions, but they are likely to be offered as downloadable titles.
Their intentions are to adapt their multi-million selling game to other platforms and mediums. An Angry Birds social media game for Facebook is scheduled for next year, Rovios's chief executive Mikael Hed has spoke to Variety about the possibilities of turning the game into a film. A line of plush toys for the game is also planned for next year.
Since its launch last year in December, Angry Birds has proved massively popular. It's still one of the app store's best-selling apps, with more than seven million downloads of the paid version of the game and 13 million of the free one.
Let's do some maths, the game costs £2.99 for the iPad, (apparently), i have no idea how much it is for the iPhone or any iDevice as i do not own one anyway.. £3 - they've sold 7 million to my maths i make that 21 million off of a single mobile phone game. Where's all the mcompute devs? :roll
