I own Angry Birds, but I've never even heard of Crush the Castle.

  That's because Crush the Castle's origins are in Flash casual gaming which is an audience of 100s of millions of people that predates / exists somewhere parallel to iOS casual gaming. Although Angry Birds has undoubtedly made more cold hard cash the CTC franchise (3 titles) would have plays in the 100s of millions by now.

    There's no denying that Angry Birds is a cultural phenomenon (I've lost track of Angry Birds references on Conan, for example,) while Crush the Castle is... not. That transcends considerations like "times played" or even "money made".

      I agree completely, I only disagree that the CTC franchise failed!

    Plays in the 100s of millions sure. Unique users in the 100s of millions? I'm doubtful.

      It's easy to underestimate the size of the Flash gaming market, I'm tracking > 120m uniques a month and that's just the tip of the iceberg. When a Flash game is very popular 1000s of other websites copy the swf file and host it themselves exposing their own audience to that game - and CTC is 3 very popular titles.
