Is it oversaturated? How do you know this? What data is this based on?

  Don't be obnoxious. He was clearly stating his opinion (Apple would have to release comprehensive numbers for anyone to know for a fact how saturated the market is). The very term connotes opinion (how much saturation is "over")

    This is the most ridiculous opinion I've heard. The entire article and almost all the comments about it are based on the same assumption - yes, the market is oversaturated. So the question I think everyone should ask is this - what are the data points indicating that the market is saturated? My attempt to do that is ignored. Being at certain positions in niche categories is not a data point. His claim that other apps are not making money is not backed up. There is practically no info on market saturation, but the entire article and all the comments are based on that assumption. Logic involves using data to come to conclusions. What is happening here is that you all found an article you want to be true, so agree with it and make no attempt to pick apart the data behind it. This is shoddy thinking. If I go to a fish market, there are 10 buyers and 20 men hawking fish, then I know the market is saturated. This information is not available to the author of the article.
