Plants vs. Zombies Top-Selling iPhone Game Launch Ever

This does NOT come as much of a surprize to me, but I think it’s a great sign of things to come from PopCap.  Clearly the iPhone represents a gold mine for them, and we will do nothing but benefit from the great content that flows from them on a regular basis.  Here is a clip:

And according to publisher PopCap Games, the $2.99 mobile zombie-zapper is officially a mega-hit, selling over 300,000 copies in just nine days. That’s a new record for the App Store, as is the game’s revenue haul of over $1 million in gross sales. The game hit number one in “units sold” and “top grossing” categories on Apple’s App Store charts inside 24 hours of launching on February 15, then managed to hold the top spot until yesterday.

Read the whole thing here. I say, viva la PopCap.
