How does Threes! get considered as a failure though? There are a lot of assumptions in this thread but little actual proof. What we can say for sure: - Threes is currently higher on the paid app store lists than 2048 is on the free lists, and as best as I can tell it's hight in the combined free and paid lists. - Threes won an Apple design award - Threes continues to sell fairly well (top 30 on iOS and Android) We have no real numbers on 2048 and if you view it via the HN echo chamber I'm sure it looks like 2048 is a more popular game but I'm not sure that's true in the larger outside market.
