I don't know about the popularity of Angry Birds at this point, but the revenue chart @the-pi-guy posted seems to indicate that Rovio is definitely not comparable to MySpace. If anything, it seems they're at their prime, despite the perceived lack of visibility.

Well their net income (which is the most important aspect) aren't that faboulous https://www.statista.com/statistics/1249218/rovio-annual-net-income/ and def not worth 1 billion from my perspective, but I don't work for Sega

It might be a little high, but:

Taking the last year 23,000,000 Euro equals 25,535,750.00. So say 39 years, before breaking even. 

Compare that to Activision. $69 billion, at say 2.3 billion net income. So say 30 years before breaking even. If you just took Activision's last year at 1.5 billion, that would around 46 years before breaking even.  

I would say a billion for Rovio Entertainment is on the same scale of being a good deal as Activision being worth $69 billion.
