Thank you Cyrus_ATX. So we can see that it's still nowhere despite the large percentage improvement.
Mobile devs won't be making things for three platforms with one a fifth the size of the other two, especially because of how fragmented Android already is, and that iOS needs iPads as well. |
?
There are more than enough apps on all 3 platforms already.
46 of the 50 most popular iOS and Android apps are on WinPhone 8 already.
Overall, there are 120k apps available on WindowsPhone (Oct 2012). If you really need 15 different fart generators fine, but every regular user should be happy with the selection. And of course, it will grow in the future.
So no, a lot of mobile devs are making things for three platforms.

If you're only worried about having multiple versions of Angry Birds having most of the top 50 apps is fantastic, but most people regularly use apps that are in the top 1,000 or 10,000 apps and they don't just want a version of it they want as good of a version as everyone else has; and that is where the problem with Windows phone is.
Most of the app developers I know focus their development on ios because they're getting the most sales off of those platforms; so features are implemented first on ios and then ported to Android some time later. With such tiny userbases and abysmal software sales, development for Blackberry and Windows devices is usually an after-thought; and many of these products are years behind in features compared to their android version, which are weeks or months behind their ios version.
To use videogame systems as an analogy, would you buy into a videogame system that promised to release 8 of the top 10 games in a year knowing that dramatically inferior ports of 30 of the remaining 40 top 50 games wouldn't be released for 18 months and the other 12 games wouldn't be released at all?

Xbox released a year before and got a huge lead ....now PS3 is the better platform with better titles.
I can say same for iOS..iPhone released before WP 7..but this doesn't mean than WP8 cant be better..
Windows 8 has been released only recently..we have to wait a couple of quarters to tell how good the product can be... it isn't DOA like you assume.
In future Microsoft can bring better exclusives to WP8 than Apple currently has because WP8 uses the same XNA framework that xbox live title uses...there can be bigger no of ported games from xbox live straight to WP8..
