I'd praise a game that sells 400 million units too.

Angry Birds has sold about 200 million units (at $1 apiece), and then been downloaded 400 million times for free on Android. 

It has surpassed 700 million downloads in March (not including angry birds space so the real number could be around 750 million by now)  Also not all versions are 1$,  Ipad/android version is around 2-3$, pc retail 4,99$ and the Mac version is even 4,99$

Wow I was waaaay off, I wonder how much they make per sale on the free version, because of the ads.

1 million bucks a month according to wikipedia but that was a source from october 2010... Would not be surpised if it is now close to 5 million a month..  especially with the cartoon coming up and the popularity of the merchanidse  ( 25 million$ worth of merchandise sold in 2011) and then their is the theme park..and oh well  how big is rovio studios for the Finnishi economy?  5%? 10%?  =p.

They said not long ago (mid last year maybe) that the licensing has earned them orders of magnitude more money than the actual game sales.
