Apple have unveiled a page within iTunes which displays the top ten downloaded apps of all time as the appstore races towards hitting the 10 billion apps downloaded milestone.
The top ten lists are categorised by platform and whether they are paid or free apps, but the category we're most interested in is the All-Time Top Paid iPhone Apps category simply because Flight Control, by Melbourne's Firemint, has hit the #10 spot in that list.
All-Time Top Paid iPhone Apps
1. Doodle Jump
2. Tap Tap Revenge 3
3. Pocket God
4. Angry Birds
5. Tap Tap Revenge 2.6
6. Bejeweled 2 + Blitz
7. Traffic Rush
8. Tap Tap Revenge Classic
9. AppBox Pro Alarm
10. Flight Control
To celebrate this achievement, Firemint has decided to share more of their sales data, revealing that Flight Control has amassed an incredible 3,881,634 sales so far. One of the charts Firemint has released show the sales spikes that Flight Control has received during the various game upgrades, hardware and iOS functionality releases, and holiday periods. It goes to show that Firemint has been able to consistently take great advantage of those opportunities to boost up more even sales for Flight Control.
The other chart that Firemint has released shows that a huge chunk of Flight Control's sales come from Australian customers. While we're a relatively small country with a population of just 21 million, we've managed to hit the third position in sales listed by countries behind the U.S and Great Britain, and ahead of much larger populated countries such as Germany, France, and Japan.
I guess with a 110% and 115% subscriber penetration of mobile services, which means that there are more handsets subscribed to mobile services than there are people in the country simply due to people owning more than one handset, we're definitely a nation that has really adopted mobiles and mobile gaming.
Anyway, congratulations to Firemint for gaining yet another great notch in the Flight Control success story!
