[IGDA Mobile-SIG List] iPhone Game Market

[William Volk]

Here's some numbers to chew on.

60m downloads, probabily 6m paid, $30m in revenue, therefore average  
price of $5.

Sega Super Monkey Ball generated $3m in gross revenue  from 300k sales  
at $9.99 a pop.  That means that this title represented 10% of overall  
sales revenue or 5% of unit sales.

Our title, Remelody, had feature placement for six days we are still  
waiting for the sales figures from the 1st two weeks of sales, I  
suspect that is when the bulk of sales occured.  It will be  
interesting to see.

It may be that the Greystripe Ad Model makes sense for some titles.

Next will be our branded (Kenny Rogers, The Gambler) casino games.   
More excitement no doubt.
