Namco Networks America (a subsidiary of Namco Bandai) has announced that its games on Apple's App Store have now been downloaded more than 23 million times, and the "number continues to grow rapidly." The company noted that since the App Store started back in June 2008, Namco's been averaging 36,450 downloads a day.
Namco now has 24 titles on the App Store, including recent releases like Pac-Man Championship Edition and Ace Combat Xi Skies of Incursion. The publisher intends to launch Pool Pro Online 3 in the near future, which is one of the 20 titles planned for launch this year.
“With over 100,000 applications available and three billion downloaded apps, the App Store is booming,” said Jonathan Kromrey, general manager of Apple Games for Namco Networks. “Not only are we excited that our worldwide audience is checking out Namco’s premium iPhone content, but that consumers are coming back for more.”
Apple's iPhone business really took off during the holiday period, as Apple's profits jumped 50% on iPhone sales of close to 9 million units.
