Angry Birds Star Wars has topped the iPad charts, the Android charts and the iPhone charts since its release last week, but it doesn’t dominate the Windows Phone charts, thanks to Windows Phone 8.
Or rather thanks to the game requiring Windows Phone 8, shiny new technology that isn’t exactly sending Windows Phone 7 owners off to the upgrade store. Maybe once they realise it’s the only way they can get Angry Birds Star Wars on their phone.
Until then, all hail the original Angry Birds! Long may it rain feathers down upon the heads of pigs.
