Angry Birds Nets 8 Million Downloads on Christmas

And you wouldn't believe how many for that week.

Posted By | On 04th, Jan. 2013

The popularity is just getting scary now, as Rovio has announced that Angry Birds hit 8 million downloads on Christmas Day itself. Using data from mobile analytics company Flurry which indicated that 17.4 million new Android and iOS devices were purchase on Christmas, the conclusion then follows that Angry Birds was downloaded on every second new smartphone/tablet.

But that’s not all. Not by a long shot. A handy infograph released by Rovio indicated that for that week – from December 22nd to 29th – Angry Birds had a whopping 30 million downloads. Is it any wonder that the company is able to ready it’s own production studio for an Angry Birds movie…in 3D? Check out the infograph below.
