MCV/DEVELOP News, events, research and jobs from the games industry
Develop Award-winning studio Rovio is capitalising on the success of its breakthrough iPhone title Angry Birds – by porting the title to WiiWare and PSN.
Speaking to UK newspaper The Sun, Rovio co-founder Joe Wee stated that the studio is “also releasing [Angry Birds] on Nintendo DS, Sony PSP and PS3”.
According to the report, the game has made £2 million in sales – an astounding feat considering it is listed as 59p on the iPhone and £4.99 on the iPad.
“It’s a simple idea,” said Wee, “just smash the pigs to pieces – but it’s very addictive”.
Rovio took the Best Download IP prize at this year’s Develop Awards.
