I have to speculate that Minecraft and Angry Birds have both individually had more downloads than Clash Royale.

Not the first Angry Birds, that was a snowball hit not a first week blowout.

Minecraft is paid.

I would guess FB Messenger or maybe Google Maps. Or something from China, seems like when QQ releases a core app there's millions who just go and download it.

Overall, sure. In the first week of release, I'd be surprised.

Minecraft would be a strong candidate if it was a free app, but any price lowers your downloads drastically.
