Angry Birds is "the new Mario Bros"

With over 100 million downloads, Angry Birds is one of the most successful mobile products. According to the developer of mobile games Sourcebits, the game produced by Rovio can be considered the new Super Mario Bros. "If you look at the casual market and that of first person shooter you realize the importance of Angry Birds," says Dan Gonzales of Sourcebits (via IndustryGamers).

"In a historical context to the hardcore player is important but at the moment is completely outweighed by the number of people using smart phones and tablet. The world is changing quickly and Angry Birds is the new Super Mario Bros". "My kids are not interested in the DS or PSP, they have all the tablets, and smartphones.

When I travel by plane I see that many passengers are using video games, notably Angry Birds on iPhone and iPad. Not one or two, but ten or fifteen ".
