Second, many of those downloaded apps are probably used just once, if at all as many analysts have underlined. This is strongly biasing the figures and analysis. Would be more interesting to have stats on usage instead.

“Games are Niche”, well depends on which platform. On Apple’s App Store Games are the #1 content in terms of number of apps (see148Apps.biz for the metrics); and my guess is that in terms of revenue; they are still in the top 5.

Why are so many people still focused on number of users, number of downloads; and not how much money it really generates (directly or indirectly)? One day or another, we’ll have to talk about revenues no?
