"attention-whoring", "troll", "naive", etc. Why are you getting so offensive about this article? I agree that this metric has little value. Quality of apps, average sales per app and exclusives are all more important. However, this is still a metric used by marketing and I believe some consumers do care about "the biggest app store". I think Apple has used app numbers in various commercials. This article doesn't conclude which app store is better (and actually says smaller is better for sales). It is simply stating that based on the current trends, Android will have more apps.
