Forums - Gaming Discussion - Candy Crush Saga is a bigger IP then Zelda and Uncharted combined

Candy Crush is pure evil. I'm not sure how many hours I've lost there, but I can never get them back :(.



Current gaming platforms - Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, New 3DS, PC

Not in revenue, and particularly not in sustained revenue over a whole generation. It won't be around in 2-3 years and there's no guarantee their next game will even make it to the iTunes frontpage, never mind be a success.

There is no game series I despise more than Candy Crush Saga... I'm constantly redirected to it on my iPhone at least twice a day. e.e



How many users play Candy Crush Saga doesn't represent "sales" of anything. Everyone I know who plays it, plays it for free. Comparing how many people are playing a free to play puzzle game to how many gamers buy an actual in-depth adventure game is about as meaningful as claiming ALL iphone sales are also handheld gaming console sales.

I don't trust those numbers because they are unofficial estimates.

Even if they are true, 4m for one game roughly the same as a single Uncharted or Zelda, and is not a franchise because it's only one game and future games will not see that success.

thats based on purely US sales, It could easily double or even triple for the rest of the world

Again, I do not believe it's true.

I tried searching for a statement from the company itself or Apple and there doesn't appear to be one. I'm sure they're happy for such rumours to circle.

Wow Zelda and Uncharted suck in comparison.
