Casual game Agatha Christie Death on the Nile has reached ten million downloads only six months after the release. This news is interesting because it comes on the heels of the news that Boogie, Electronic Art’s dancing game, has had disappointing sales so far. Two contrasting news stories like EA’s and Agatha Christie’s shows that the casual game market is unique and you really need to understand what your customers want before you get the “hit” game. Seems as more people enjoy detective games over dancing games.

“The Agatha Christie stories and her audience are, as the figures show, a perfect fit for casual games, and we know that both mystery buffs and casual gamers are delighted with Death on the Nile.”
