mobile-ent:免费游戏当道 《蓝精灵村庄》称雄App Store

发布时间:2010-11-16 10:12:39 Tags:,,,

最近几周人们谈论手机游戏《愤怒鸟》(Angry Birds)的热情仍然高涨,却不知另一款游戏正悄悄上位。最近,Capcom公司出品的iPhone游戏《蓝精灵村庄》(Smurfs’ Village)在美国和英国App Store的游戏排行榜上夺魁,《愤怒鸟》只好屈亚军。

另一个不寻常的现象是,《蓝精灵村庄》是一款采用免费模式的游戏,鼓励用户通过购买虚拟货币“smurfberries”获得更多游戏功能。而《愤怒鸟》的主要营收来源仅仅是0.99美元的下载费用,《蓝精灵村庄》的成功可以证明免费模式游戏正逐渐iPhone平台上最有力的吸金工具。

据了解,一同进入美国App Store前20名的免费游戏还包括《掌上动物园》(Tap Zoo)、《餐馆故事》(Restaurant Story)、《触摸宠物猫》(Touch Pets Cats)、《王国之争》(Kingdoms At War)、《僵尸农场》( Zombie Farm)、《FarmVille》、《Trade Nations》、《德州扑克》(Texas Poker)、《We Rule Quests》。

也就是说,在前20名的iPhone游戏榜单中,免费游戏已经占据了半壁江山。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

Smurfs’ Village out-grossing Angry Birds on the App Store

Amid all the buzz around Rovio’s Angry Birds franchise in recent weeks, something appears to have gone unnoticed this week.

It’s being out-grossed by the Smurfs.

Specifically, Capcom’s Smurfs’ Village iPhone game is ahead of Angry Birds in both the US and UK App Stores’ Top Grossing Games charts.

That’s all the more surprising because Smurfs’ Village is a freemium game: the money that it’s grossing is coming from in-app payments for its ‘smurfberries’ virtual currency.

Angry Birds, by contrast, is making its money purely from its $0.99 download cost.

Smurfs’ Village’s success shows how freemium games are becoming big moneyspinners on iPhone.

It’s joined in the Top 20 Grossing Games US chart by fellow freemium titles Tap Zoo, Restaurant Story, Touch Pets Cats, Kingdoms At War, Zombie Farm, FarmVille, Trade Nations, Texas Poker and We Rule Quests.

Half the Top 20 Grossing Games are freemium, in other words. Forget the Angry Birds plush toys: it seems smart consumers may be digging out their childhood Papa Smurfs this Christmas instead…(source:mobile-ent)
