The new Mario.

I don't think I would go that far. 

I know, we don't have the Angry Birds Official Milking Simulator yet...

Although on the plus side, Angry Birds has outsold NSMB, NSMB Wii, SMG, SMG2 and SM64DS combined!

The article says it has 140 million downloads not that it sold 140 million downloads. Your trippin and riding this simple game a bit to hard.

I think you are also ignoring the fact that the free versions have ads and bring in plenty of revenue that way.

Who cares how many were purchased. All that matters is how large of a user base they have.

I think you ignoring the fact that i said sales it didnt sale a copy of a free download. An add doesnt count for a legitimate sale of that game.

So games that are bundled for free don't count either from here on out too I guess?

 

Alright, well at least we set the guidelines.

 

What you are choosing to ignore is the fact that games on these mobile devices have different revenue streams from those on home consoles or dedicated handhelds. Just because they can make a lot of money while giving the game for free does not discount it from being counted towards the games install base.

I bought an Android app from Amazon yesterday, it cost me $0.00 and it processed as a sale.

 

Now why does it not count? Please go ahead and give me your best excuse.
