Statistics by Games subcategories on the App Store
We analyzed how many applications appeared in the Games subcategories in a month (from August 4 to September 4, 2011). This information will allow you to assess the level of competition in each of them and choose the most “profitable” section when the game is released. It is logical to assume that the fewer applications there are next to yours, the more likely it will be noticed.
According to statistics, the most applications are in the Arcade subcategory, Action is in second place, and, surprisingly, the Kids subcategory was in third place. And despite the fact that feemium games are more profitable for developers, there are still more paid applications.
