25M Units of Bejeweled Sold!
PopCap’s flagship franchise, Bejeweled, has sold 25 million units since 2008. This means that: it 1 unit sold for every 10 seconds that equates to 6 billion hours in gameplay and sums up to $300 million in consumer spending. The success in sales mostly contributes to its numerous distribution channels and its availability in a variety of formats including web, PCs and Macs, mobiles, consoles, PDAs, Blackberrys, iPods and iPhone.
Jason Kapalka, Chief Creative Office (oooh, cool title) and co-founder of Popcap, vividly recalls how they had a hard time selling the game in the black market for merely $60k back in the early days. Some even told them it wasn’t even a game.
I wonder what those guys think of the game now.
