Angry Birds RULE!


For the billions of dollars that's being spent making video games as sophisticated, gorgeous, realistic, and mind-blowing as possible . . . the most popular video game of all time now involves flinging two-dimensional birds into green, body-less pigs. Yesterday, the video game company Rovio, which makes "Angry Birds", announced that the game has now been purchased 500 million times. Which makes it the best-selling video game OF ALL TIME. Bigger than "Super Mario Bros.", bigger than "Tetris", bigger than "Grand Theft Auto" . . . even bigger than "Pong". And "Angry Birds" has only been around for two years. It's much cheaper than other games . . . it costs a few bucks, while games for the Xbox or Wii generally cost $40 to $60 . . . but sales are sales. And thanks to an explosion in people playing games on their phones, "Angry Birds" is number one. For comparison, "Tetris" appears to be the second-most popular game ever, with over 175 million sales. The entire "Super Mario" franchise . . . which includes 16 games . . . has sold approximately 262 million. Read more HERE
