320k downloads in a week is pretty amazing.

This really makes me wonder how many sales the top ten Paid Apps received. Fingers crossed that Rovio releases the Angry Birs stats.

Chopper 2 was #2 on the Mac app store for a couple weeks and the developer says on his blog that it sold 100,000 copies (at 99 cents, mind you) in its first week[1]. So, We can guess #1 is roughly double that.

So, back of napkinning:

100,000 units sold / 7 days = 14,285 copies a day.

You can guess, then, that Angry birds is probably selling 20,000 copies a day at the very least, which at 5 a pop is US$100,000/day gross, 70k net.

Wow.
