Analyst: Angry Birds is not most downloaded PSN game Clarifying a statement from last week in which he claimed "Angry Birds" was now the best-selling game on PSN, ever, Lazard Capital Markets' Colin Sebastian has apologized and reneged on the client note.
Correcting the statement, Sebastian says "Angry Birds was the most downloaded paid game through the PSN for January and February 2011."

The correction is huge as Angry Birds has only been available via PSN for over 3 months. The PS3 launched in 2006.

Angry Birds sells for $1.99 on the PS3, $.99 on iOS, and for free on Android (with ads). The game has been downloaded over 100 million times across the platforms.

The latest version of the game, Angry Birds Rio, a tie-in to the new movie, has over 10 million downloads since its launch on April 3rd.
