Angry Birds came to the PSN just four short months ago. That’s over four years after the online service launched in November of 2006. This is not only good news for Rovio, but a huge step forward for casual gaming on the consoles. This is probably a good time to recall that the business head who predicted the impending death of console games is now leading the pack in sales with his company’s game on Sony’s doomed console.
Colin Sebastian, an analyst at Lazard Capital Markets, discussed in detail the rising popularity of the PlayStation Network, as well as what these Angry Birds sales mean for the future of the service:
He continued to add that both casual and traditional game publishers should understand that this is a significant move in the right direction for the PS3’s continued growth. Considering the fact that we will not likely be seeing a PS4 any time soon, growth is vital to the survival of this current generation of consoles. In other words, not only is Rovio generating significant revenue for Sony, they are giving consoles further life by helping to bring the casual market to the consoles.
