First, Angry Birds cost a lot less to make than NSMB Wii. With the manpower/capital needed to make that game, Rovio could make several Angry Birds type games.
I used to think so, but after seeing the dramatic growth in Rovio's headcount since their vulture capital infusion last year, They've hired actual composers for their Angry Birds theme song variations and chefs for their cookbook. They're being anything but conservative with their spending (and you would too, if you're a startup that landed a $42M A round and is still growing exponentially)
Heck, look at how many people are listed in AB Space's credits...or even AB Classic's. It's unbelievable how such a simple game would require so many employees, but apparently it does! And the more jobs the merrier, right?
Remember that the entire executive team at Rovio everything on the Angry Birds brand. They're going to milk the s*** out of it, instead of diversifying. So it's a safe bet that almost every Rovio employee is working on Angry Birds instead of a different series.
