+1 Kileyrilo. They were lucky enough to get the first big smartphone hit, which has now gone viral in that everyone who gets a smartphone and wants to play, tries Angry Birds first. As most of these people are pretty casual as far as gaming goes, they don't play much and are happy to stick with the same franchise, so will follow it around, but that still doesn't make Rovio any better than a one-hit wonder. I think they've done brilliantly, but suggesting they'll be bigger than Disney is pretty damn silly and short-sighted, and arrogant to the extreme.
Particularly as their strength is in their brand, not their product. On any platform other than smartphones and tablets, Angry Birds would be a, at best "7/10 bit of light fun in-between meatier fare, solid core mechanics but not a lot of depth".

God I cant stand Rovio studios... They sound so arrogant over one stupid video game that is not that original or great imo. I hope they start getting a bit more humble becuase thats one of the main reasons why I dont buy from them.
