There have been lots of rumors and speculation pounding the Internet about how Angry Birds developer Rovio is making the transition from mobile to console.  It has been confirmed by the BBC in England that Angry Birds developer Rovio is making versions of the game for the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation3, and the Nintendo Wii game consoles.

Its Chief Executive Peter Vesterbacka says that kind of switch will become more and more common.
He said: “The smartphone gaming platform is actually turning out to be the biggest and most played out there.
So it’s starting to beat the traditional games on consoles and PCs.”
Rovio Chief Executive Peter Vesterbacka didn’t go into much detail and was definitly not giving any clues as to when we should expect the game to appear on the console platforms.
Vesterbacka also said that there are plans for Angry Birds 2, and it will be a different kind of game featuring the same characters.  “Let’s say that you will see a lot more of the pigs,” he revealed. “The pigs will be a lot more active than just being slingshotted at by birds.”
He certainly considers the mobile platforms a very competitive gaming platform, stating; “The smartphone gaming platform is actually turning out to be the biggest and most played out there,”.
Rovio announced recently that it is developing a lighter version of the game for “lower end” Android devices after many users experienced problems running the game. Â Many people have also been asking for a paid version without the current overload of advertising, however I’m guessing this won’t be a priority as the current revenue stream must be huge.
