They can't get mass appeal games? How many Nintendo handheld games have exceeded 50M sales?

Wait...how many cell phone games have managed this? o_O

Just the one that I know of thus far, however it ought to be expected that as the Smartphone market is growing substantially that another 2 or 3 will follow over the next couple of years.

The game is Angry Birds by the way.

Angry Birds may have been downloaded 50 million times, but considering it's a free download I don't think it's a particularly good example for the purpose of determining what barrier determines "mainstream."  Moreover, if that figure determines what is mainstream, then only Wii Sports and Super Mario Bros. have ever been mainstream games.  In light of the cultural penetration and awareness of many other titles, I can't agree with that.
