The amount of apps downloaded in the Android marketplace has now hit 10 billion plus — you may already be aware of this. What you might not know is that video games are by far the most downloaded app, completely outpacing the competition.
Games made up 25.6 per cent of app purchases on Android, meaning that over 256,000,000 video game apps have been purchases. A pretty huge number. Coming in distant second is entertainment apps at 12.2 per cent, then ‘tools’ at 11.17 per cent.
Breaking the numbers down further, 39.25 per cent of games purchased fell under the arcade categorisation, with 22.08 per cent being categorised as ‘Brain’ games.
Apparently the country with the more Android app purchases per capita was South Korea. Australia wasn’t even in the top 10 — come on, step your game up folks!
Also, while we’re talking about Android, might as well hit up the random Android Phone Name Generator.
‘Sony Ericsson Nitro Vivid Plus G1 2’… gotta get me one of those.
