According to Peter Farago of mobile analytics provider Flurry, “What makes a hit is 1 million daily active users per platform (e.g., 1 million on iOS and 1 million on Android).” By far the most important metric is retention — the percent of users who come back the very next day after they first sign up. A reasonable retention rate is 20 - 30 percent; great retention is 50 – 60%. Source: http://allthingsd.com. Angry Birds 2012 EBITDA was up 50% from 2011, to $98.5 million in 2012 30% of Angry Birds revenue is derived from branded merchandise. Sources: BusinessInsider.com; Rovio

Mobile accelerates demand, and…Stickiness drives valuation…

By 2015 nearly every person on Earth will have a mobile device. Growth in smartphone and tablet markets are expected to take social gaming to new heights. By far the most important metric is retention — the percent of users who come back the very next day after they first sign up.
