"The conventional wisdom is that a lot of people are making a lot of money selling apps in the App Store."
That's not true in the professional app developer community. Hobbyists can make golf-money on the app store, and of course everyone likes to point out the few runaway success apps, but anyone professionally making games, for instance, knows that the business case for iPhone development is weak if you're not one of the really big guys like EA.
Indie game devs are far more interested in Facebook. Mobile is still more work for less pay and everyone seriously playing in the space knows it.
