500 million downloads of Angry Birds and counting

What happens when you are upset at a group of green, mean looking pigs for stealing your eggs? Why, you end up getting incensed – and have a hit game on your hands to boot. We’re talking about the Angry Birds franchise by Rovio that has already hit 500,000,000 downloads and counting across all platforms. This makes Angry Birds one of the most downloaded games in the history of gaming, and it does not seem as though it is going to slow down anytime soon.

So far, statistics show that worldwide Angry Birds fans have played a grand total of 200,000 years of the game, spending 300 million minutes of playing time globally, daily. Apart from that, over 266 billion levels of Angry Birds have been played, where 400 billion birds were launched into action and more than 44 billion Stars were collected in the process. Are you part of the statistics? Someone should make a study and see how much productivity goes down the drain due to Angry Birds being played during office hours…
