PopCap estimates the game has made around $300 million in sales, as well as tens of millions in online advertising.

si cu long tail-ul asta, frate. unii zic ca exista; altii ca doar pare sa existe dar canci bani....
e o dezbatere, oricum
hm, nu prea vad legatura dintre bejeweled si long tail distribution.
pai casual gaming e mana in mana cu long tail. multi jucatori cazuali --> $$
pai da, dar jocul asta e un mega-hit (adica ar fi in capatul din stanga a cozii). long tail-ul descrie mai degraba situatia produselor de nisha...
almost right. coada e reprezentarea grafica a vanzarilor si e de nisa, nu e pt marea masa de gameri.
