That "apart from a purely financial perspective" went full loop there. Because apart from a purely financial perspective why do people create apps for any plat at all ? Would the reasons be shared by plat or are you expecting to probe the "other side" with this exploratory question that puts money out of the equation. You are also extrapolating a lot while not providing basic information for; number of kids on each plat, age of buyers on each plat that went and got your app, etc. That would help bring perspective to your anecdotal example and provide basic input about what sort of market it is that you are trying to analyze. Myself, I write some software that runs on Android. Mostly Biz Intel and Rich Media deployed from servers that runs on Android enabled smartphone running clients, so none of the App Store experience here, but I like to develop for it because it is something I genuinely love to do. And the money is good too.
