Angry bird Space Edition missed Windows Phone

The Angry Bird Space Edition missed Windows Phone Sina technology news in Beijing March 23 morning, Rovio executives said the latest game, "Angry Bird: Space", will not launch a version of the Windows Phone platform because of insufficient demand. This is a serious blow to Nokia. "We are the number one application in the Windows Phone App Store, but providing support for Windows Phone is a huge task and you need to rewrite the application completely," said Petere Vesterbacka, Rovio chief marketing officer Pitt Westbecka. As a result, Rovio has no plans to publish "Angry Birds: Space" on the Windows Phone platform. Westbecka said that in the coming months, with the launch of "Angry Birds: space", the "Angry Birds" series of games will be downloaded 1 billion times, and the end of this year is expected to reach 2 billion times. The game was downloaded only 50 million times a year after the original Angry Bird was launched, at the end of 2010. Rovio Thursday launched the "Angry Bird: space." Westbecka said the Rovio will also launch 4 games related to "Angry Birds" this year. Nokia is currently the main windows Phone handset maker, and Rovio's failure to launch the Windows Phone version of Angry Birds: space means Nokia will struggle to attract gaming-focused smartphone users. Stephen Elop, Nokia's CEO, wants to elop the ailing smartphone business with the Windows Phone platform and plans to launch such handsets in the Chinese market. "Angry Birds" has been developing rapidly in the Chinese market since last year. "China is our second largest market," says Westbecka. The rapid growth of the Chinese market has been going on for some time. China is likely to become our biggest market this year. "Angry Birds" topped the app store in Apple in 2010, after which it entered the Android platform, desktop computers and e-readers. Westbecka said the Facebook version of Angry Birds attracted 20 million active users. Last year, Rovio also sold 25 million plush toys related to Angry Birds, and the brand's Cookbook and comic books were also launched. Rovio launched 51 games on Nokia platforms and other handsets before launching the Angry Birds. "Angry Birds" has supported Nokia's current smartphone and some low-end handsets. Rovio currently employs more than 300 people in Espoo, Finland. The new "Angry Birds" will be launched for Windows PCs, iphones, ipads and Macs. Westbecka says: If you focus on activation, then iOS and AndroidThe OID is significantly stronger than the other platforms. We want to get into all the screens, but we also need to consider costs. It takes a lot of work to technically support the Windows Phone platform.
