So Angry Birds makes $70 million world wide and pundits are talking about how social gaming is going to kill off console games?

 

Not according to this list it isn't.

It cost $140k to make, so that is one hell of a profit margin.

Certainly it's a massive profit margin but it's also 1 hit out of thousands and thousands of misses.  Even the rest of Rovio's own line up is wrought with failures.   Hell, Angry Birds itself is actually a rip off of Crush The Castle.

But anyone that thinks $140k to $70 million profit margins will become common is setting themselves up for another marklet bubble that will burst - badly.  Especially for those that are banking on it killing off home consoles (and I've read several articles in the past few weeks make that very proclamation).
