Over the past 36 hours, PopCap Games’ Plants vs. Zombies has arrived on store shelves throughout North America, including Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target, Apple Stores and Amazon.com, and are headed toward Sam’s Club, OfficeMax and Office Depot in October.

“Plants vs. Zombies sold more briskly in its first 90 days of online availability than any previous game we’ve published, including Bejeweled 2, Bejeweled Twist, Bookworm Adventures and Peggle Nights,” noted Ben Rotholtz, vice president of Marketing at PopCap. “In fact, our family-friendly zombie game now accounts for nine of the ten biggest-grossing single sales days in PopCap’s ten-year history, which is quite a feat given that the Bejeweled and Zuma franchises have sold more than 40 million units between them.”

On the heels of that announcement, PopCap today also announced that Plants vs. Zombies is being adapted for the iPhone and iPod touch, and is expected to become available for those devices via App Store launch around the end of this year. No other details of the iPhone/iPod touch adaptation of the game were disclosed. The company has previously acknowledged that Plants vs. Zombies is also being adapted for the Xbox LIVE® Arcade (XBLA) online service of Microsoft’s Xbox 360® video game console but has not yet provided a target launch date.
