Are you taking into account the time that these apps have been available on the market? I thought Diner Dash 2 just made it to the market a couple of days ago. Also, $4.99 may be a bit high for a mobile app, unless it is revolutionary. They may have more sales if they lowered the price, although the total revenue may be the same.
P.S. The world economy, and especially the US economy, are not doing to well now, I personally will do without a mobile app when times are tough. ~clark On May 6, 7:23 pm, CB <[email protected]> wrote: > I was looking through the Android Market and I found some very sad > stats. > > Glu Mobile, a big and reputable game company has 4 games (according to > Cyrket) on the Android Market.
