Forums - Sales - List of highest selling mobile games (paid and free)

Paid downloads

Freemium downloads

(List incomplete)

But just want to give an idea of what mobile game sales are like, kind of reminds me of the old days, the highest selling games are tetris, pacman, and sonic. Now if they get Mario on a mobile game it'll complete it.

the list makes sense,but I've never played any of those on my phone. I just can't get into playing games on my phone. I just use it for the net and to make phone calls and the GPS.



Remember to turn your internet off or go into airplane mode when playing free apps so you don't have to put up with their ads. I believe the free Angry Birds are pretty bad with ad placement if you don't disable your internet.

Didn't Angry Birds sell over 100m?

Edit: They had reached 12m over two years ago, so I will assume the answer is yes.


The 12 million is paid though, 1 billion is free downloads.

They reported 12 million paid and 30m free downloads two years ago. Now it is X paid and 1B free. Do the math ;o

Wow Wii Sports is 80m :b



I am surprised with the smurfs game.



 

yeah the list is not very accurate if it comes to sales numbers but the list itself could be still right if it comes to the rankings.

as example fruit ninja is at 6 million paid and 20 million free versions but:

"in May 2012 Fruit Ninja reached 300 million downloads, and was on one third of all US IPhones."



I was just about to say... Angry Birds so wayyy more than 12 million paid!



Saving thread.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
