The phenomenon that is Angry Birds has now spread over to the PlayStation Network.
After succesully conquering the smartphone gaming industry, Rovio's physics-based puzzler has now become the most downloaded game of all time on Sony’s online store, the PlayStation Network, after only three months since its release.
Lazard Capital Markets' Colin Sebastian has noted that the PSN is quickly becoming a more popular platform for casual market, which can only be a good thing for Sony.
"Online continues to ramp on PSN. The PSN currently has 75M registered accounts WW (half of which are in NA), with over 1.4B pieces of content downloaded since launch. PSN appears to be gaining traction tapping into the casual and social gaming market with titles such as Angry Birds which is the most downloaded game through the PSN (it was launched in January 2011). PSN is also seeing good success with freemium/microtransaction models," he said.
Sebastian added: "We think this could be a significant move for PSN because it can allow casual game publishers, in addition to traditional game publishers, to leverage the PS3 as a gaming platform. We were encouraged by the free-to-play demo of Sodium."

the game is fun. it is addictive as hell.
are the graphics on par with some $60 games? no. do they need to be? hell no.
there was another little game that came out years ago that didn't have great graphics that became a hugely successful game - tetris.
ANgry Birds works because you can play it for hours, and you can also play it for 3 minutes, or play a quick round.
