Angry Birds wrecks 200 million download milestone

The avian wrecking balls have destroyed another milestone, with Angry Birds downloaded an extraordinary 200 million times, makers Rovio Mobile have announced.

The appetite for the enraged birds shows no signs of slowing, as the company also revealed that the free browser-based Angry Birds for Google Chrome Web Store has notched up 6 million downloads in less than a week.

The game phenomenon is available on every platform conceivable, including Android, iOS, PlayStation, Xbox Live, Facebook, Commodore 64, Atari Jaguar and even Symbian*. A Windows Phone 7 version is also being developed, which will be available, after a short delay, by 29 June on Microsoft Marketplace.

At present, there are three editions of the game: Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and the most recent Angry Birds Rio. The film tie-in version has generated a hard-hitting 35 million downloads for Rovio's feathery franchise since its launch in March.

The original Angry Birds was one of the top selling apps in the iTunes Store in 2010, and it goes without saying we're massive fans. What about you? Still bird-crazy for the crazy birds? Let us know in the comments section below.

According to the Chrome Web Store, Angry Birds just exceeded one million users on 5/20.

In order for 6 million downloads to have occurred, 4-5 million users would have to uninstall each day.

Is this possible?

Angry Birds contacted Chrome OS Apps about the press release.

The answer to the conflict appears at ChromeOSApps dot org.
