Angry Birds Reached over 200 Million Downloads in May 2011
In May 2011 at the Next 11 convention, Rovio’s CMO Peter Vesterbacka was interviewed on stage. Chances are you'll recognize him as being the guy that gives us many different updates of Angry Birds, Angry Birds plush toys, potentially an Angry Birds film, and also Angry Birds hoodies.
He also had a major story: Angry Birds downloads have reached 200 mil. To set this in mindset, a different application, Foursquare not long ago achieved 10 mil downloads.
Needless to say, as the iPad as well as iPhone are to blame for most of Angry Birds’ accomplishment, the company has migrated nicely further than it. They have presently come to 5 mil Internet downloads following previous week’s Chrome launch.
I must say i have a gratitude regarding the way Rovio believes. The majority of us are aware that this company produced over 50 video games prior to striking gold with the currently well-known birds and also the relatively misinterpreted pigs. That is frequently regarded as being an encouragement for business owners never to stop trying. However the flipside is that Vesterbacka is aware of how difficult finding a block-buster can be, therefore he is certainly not investing in getting inside the serial block-buster industry.
Alternatively, he views Angry Birds like a enormous enjoyment system which is only starting out. This doesn’t only consist of products plus films– he is also tinkering with Angry Birds focused area dependent services along with other strategies to merge this game’s impact in the real life.
We will be seeing and hearing much more from Vesterbacka this current year, since his dedicated idea begins to take shape. He is especially bullish regarding China– where he will be adopting the style of Sanrio, with its brand Hello Kitty. Vesterbacka will be becoming a member of the roster of international presenters within TechCrunch Disrupt in Beijing, China this fall season, which could ideally bring us a number of very exciting news from the Finnish company. Stay tuned for more.
