Chillingo surpasses 140 million downloads across iOS
Anyone who has kept tabs on the sales of both Angry Birds and Cut the Rope won't be surprised to hear total downloads on the App Store for publisher Chillingo have now surpassed 140 million.

The company, which was purchased by EA in October 2010, claims said downloads have been spread across iPhone, iPod touch and iPad since Apple's marketplace launched in June 2008.

Three cheers for Chillingo

That means average monthly downloads for the publisher come in at around 4.1 million.

"Partnering with the industry's most talented developers and having the revolutionary App Store to help distribute their work to the world, has made all of the difference in helping us achieve this staggering milestone," said co-general manager Joe Wee.

"We've been able to publish phenomenal games for iOS that millions of players have loved and enjoyed, and we look forward to strengthening our ties with the growing indie developer community as they evolve and bring even more exciting titles to the App Store," added co-general manager Chris Byatte.
