Android Market games revenues jump 53% in October
Nov 10th 2009 at 17:21 by Stuart Dredge
The launch of the HTC Hero handset, as well as improvements to the Android Market, led to a 53% rise in Android games revenues in October, claims FADE. The company's research indicates that Google's app store generated around $180,000 of revenues from game sales in October.
Is anyone making a fortune? Not yet. FADE estimates that the top-selling Android game, Lupis Labs' Robo Defense, sold 7,600 units during October at a $2.99 price point - just over $22,700 in revenue.
FADE claims that in the seven months since paid apps were introduced on Android Market, games firms have made a total of $850,000. However, it predicts that November will see sales jump 50% to $270,000 for that month alone, buoyed by more handset launches.
