Forbes estimates that the average game earns four thousand dollars? That doesn't seem right. I got 32 downloads ($32) for mine.

- adamnemecek 13y agoAngry birds made millions. If you average it out, you might get thousands. But yeah, knowing the average does not really give you all that much insight.
- natejenkins 13y agoThat's the difference between the mean and the median. The median profit for a game is probably much closer to your number, but the mean is the average of all the games like yours (there are many) plus the rare game that makes $10 million or more.
- xamlhacker 13y agoI guess mean and median happen to be very different in this case.
- hershel 13y agoThe median income for game in the app store was less than $1000 in 2011. I'm sure it has came down since.

- spada 13y agoi recall reading something a couple years ago that ~800,000 apps on the store have zero downloads. average means very little here.
