Disney's "Tapulous" mobile game division has knocked the popular Angry Birds off its perch on iTunes' free app store over the holidays. It's a sign that its purchase of game-maker Tapulous is paying dividends. The Walt Disney Co.says Tap Tap Revenge 4 was downloaded six million times in 22 days after its release on Dec. 20. Disney acquired Tapulous in July for an undisclosed amount. Although it's free, the company's game is a moneymaker because people buy songs they want to play. Disney says downloads of the newest version of the tap-along game have been proceeding at twice the pace of the 2009 release. To play, users tap the targets on the touchscreen to the beat of the music, scoring points for accuracy and timing.
I have not played this new Tap Tap game but I love Angry Birds. It must be a good game. I had no idea that Disney was in this kind of business. Six Million downloads is unbelievable.
