According to Rovio the new game broke previous records by hitting the top spot in the U.S. in only 2.5 hours, which is just insane:

Angry Birds Star Wars made the jump to hyperspace yesterday with a phenomenal launch. Within 2.5 hours of launch, the app soared to #1 in the US iOS App Store, blasting away all of our previous records.

Angry Birds Space broke 20 million downloads in less than a week and was deemed the fastest growing mobile game in the world back in March. Will it be topped by Angry Birds Star Wars? Rovio’s continued success with the franchise has been impressive on all levels.

… to each his own i guess. some people like curry stuff. some don’t. the world does not revolve around one’s personal choice. to think otherwise is awfully pathetic.

As much as I’ve hated the Angry Birds franchise, I couldn’t resist this one. So yes, I did contribute to the numbers (in Canada). I’m finding the game quite a lot of fun actually!
