Angry Birds: Unappreciated Killer App (Modojo)

There are big video game franchises, and then there's Angry Birds. It's one thing to know a bunch of friends that purchased Killzone 3 or Donkey Kong Country Returns, but Rovio's immensely popular series is everywhere. I have it, the guy sitting next to me has it. Moms have it, old people have it. It's so huge that the game had a cameo, albeit hidden, in the Rio trailer during the Super Bowl for great reason. As of December 2010, over 42 million people have downloaded it in some fashion.

So why don't Sony and Nintendo care?
