Apple has been awarded Guinness World Records for the iPhone 4, App Store and iOS games. The iPhone 4 has been awarded a record for being the fastest ever selling mobile gaming hardware ever after selling 1.5 million handsets on their launch day.
These figures are really impressive especially when compared with other hardware numbers. The PSP only managed 200,000 on launch day and it took the Nintendo DS a week to sell 500,000 units.
Apple’s App Store also made it into the records and it has seen over 6.5 billion downloads since it launched in July of 2008. As of September 2010 there were 37,362 games in the App Store and this is a lot more than the Xbox Live Arcade which stands at 1,300. With just 145 games available on launch of the App Store Apple also received a record for the largest launch lineup. Angry Birds was the top selling iOS game with 6.5 million downloads since it launched in December 2009 and Plants Vs Zombies is the highest grossing iPod/iPhone strategy games after it made $1 million in its first week of sales.
This really is great news for Apple and it makes you wonder what records they will break next.
