The sentiment is totally right -- especially if you take other countries into account. The numbers you mentioned are pretty far off for US -- a typical rank 200 game in iPhone earns around $4000-6000 or so per day, but worldwide we can expect the top 100 app to earn around 100k / day on both platforms, and the top 200 app earns roughly half of that.
This is wonderful because this kind of revenue can sustain a lot of companies and studios -- and it does not take ad revenue models into account.
This is after apple/android 30% cut.
- KingMob 10y ago"A lot of companies"? With 2+ million apps in each app store, the top 200 is still the top .01%. It does nothing to refute the idea that app store income follows a power law distribution. Even if being in the top 5% was sustainable, that's still a far cry away from the rest of the computing field.
- uptown 10y agoAre the rough figures you cited the app purchase price, advertising revenue, in-app purchases or some combination of the three?
- diziet 10y ago99% of them are in-app purchase revenues.
