A New Mobile Social Games King In The U.S.? Former Facebookers Take Storm8 To 210 Million Downloads

On the heels of PopCap's billion dollar acquisition comes some interesting news from the social games front: Game developer Storm8 is today announcing a few impressive stats. Among other things, the company is claiming that it has become the "largest mobile social games developer in the U.S.", boasting over 210 million downloads across iOS and Android. While those numbers are certainly impressive, with Angry Birds raking in over 200 million downloads, I think Rovio, Zynga, PopCap, Outfit7 and quite a few others might have a thing or two to say about that, each of which has fairly sizable user bases in the U.S. Then again, Rovio is in fact Helsinki-based and Outfit7 is international as well so Storm8's claim to American soil likely stands -- at least in relation to the Angry Birds and Talking Tom Cat makers, respectively.
