Backbreaker Football crashes through 1.5m iPhone downloads

NaturalMotion has announced that its Backbreaker Football iPhone game has been downloaded more than 1.5 million times on the App Store. The game is available in both paid and free versions, and the company hasn't split out the 1.5 million figure between them.
Even so, given that the game - developed by UK firm IdeaWorks Game Studio - was originally designed as a teaser for the company's upcoming console game of the same name, the iPhone version has to count as a success.
"Backbreaker Football has been a phenomenal success on iPhone and iPod touch, with sales wildly exceeding our initial forecasts," says NaturalMotion CEO Torsten Reil.

However, another stat that's even more impressive is the company's claim that BackBreaker Football only has a 1 per cent piracy rate on iPhone.
