And the media still talks about it as a it was a flop lol

It's not exactly astounding to mobile standards, Angry Birds was downloaded 2 billion times.

The thing is only about 10% of those is actually paying the $10 to unlock the full game. Compare to a console game and the revenue equals something like ~800 thousand to ~2.4 million sales on console platforms, depending on who is the publisher and the profit margins. There's the advantage, though, that the game was way cheaper to develop. Probably.

not sure where you'er getting your 10% number, that is an awfully pessimistic ratio by Nintendo fan measures, I doubt that figure is accurate.
