| disolitude said: @famousringo and mrstickball Im out for the night and can't look for specific examples and apps but there are lots of very successful windows phone exclusive apps. I am on every windows phone news and xna developers RSS feeds and and every week a new success story is shared by a dev. Usually windows phone apps perform better than Android counterparts. Look up Elbert Perez for a very successful developer exclusive to windows phone. |
This guy, huh:

So, he has twelve games to his name and they earned him $61,000 last year. I'm supposed to believe that this guy is capable of churning out a quality game every month or so and that an average of $5,000 revenue per app is big success? That's a decent income, sure, but a single good app on iOS can make an indie dev a millionaire (granted, those million sellers usually take more than 30 days of work to make).
