虽然《愤怒的小鸟》(Angry Birds)这款手机游戏以超过5000万次的下载量,横扫iOS、Android、Ovi平台,而且还通过毛绒玩具、T恤等周边产品赚足眼球,但据pocketgamer报道,今年下载量最高的智能手机应用并非这只人见人爱的小鸟,而是一款出自斯洛文尼亚/美国开发商Outfit7工作室的手机娱乐应用《Talking Friends》系列(该应用已发行8个版本)。

据游戏邦了解,这个应用系列发行约6个月,下载量就达到了4100万次,销售速度远超《愤怒的小鸟》。

在这个应用系列中,市场表现最强劲的是《Talking Tom Cat》,它的iOS版本下载量已达1900万次,在Android平台的下载量已有800万次。这是一款采用广告赞助、内置付费模式的免费应用。但据Outfit所称,在这个应用系列的4100万下载量中,付费版本(游戏邦注:价格为99美分至2.99美元)的下载量占600万次。

另外,这个应用系列下载量仍然在持续上升,11月份下载量达700万次,预计12月份下载量将超过1000万次,其中的一个版本《Talking Santa》已经成为35个国家的头号付费应用。

如果按目前的情况估计,该应用的总下载量有望在2011年第二季度达到1亿次。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

Outfit7′s Talking Friends series is out downloading Angry Birds

As we look back at mobile entertainment over the past 12 months, it’s perhaps too easy to see it just as the effortless rise of Rovio’s Angry Birds.

From the millions sold on iOS, to its transition to Android and Ovi, the release of the seasonal standalone, all the updates, and then the t-shirts and plush toys, the franchise ends the year with more than 50 million downloads.

Rising tide floats all

But despite the elegance and presentation of that particular game, the wider picture is the opportunity provided by the smartphone ecosystem for developers to tap into with new ideas and experiences.

And there are plenty of other companies already doing so.

One such is Slovenian/US developer Outfit7.

Its Talking Friends series of entertainment apps (eight released to date) has been downloaded 41 million times in around six months. That’s faster than Angry Birds.

Of these, its best performing title is Talking Tom Cat, which has done 19 million downloads on iOS and 8 million on Android.

It’s a free, ad-supported app with in-app purchases. More generally, Outfit7 says of the 41 million downloads it’s sold 6 million units, with prices ranging from 99c to $2.99.

Faster, faster

What’s particularly good news for the company is that the rate of downloads across the range is increasingly. It did 7 million in November, with over 10 million predicted for December, aided by the release of Talking Santa, the #1 paid app in 35 countries.

At this rate, it reckons the series will have been downloaded 100 million times by the end of Q2 2011.(source:pocketgamer)
