I think what we r missing are the actual numbers of people playing PL on IOS and Android.
Also the number of players who have paid for platinum thru appstore, credit card,...
(Also need to compare with other paying games PL types)
Those could help us understand better the situation.


All that I can imagine is that apparently the number of people who spent cash must be quite high aswell the total amount for Apple.
And they r thinking if they paid that much for PL they will too for SL. So let them rot their plat in PL and let them buy again a lot for the new game.

Its not about sharing with Android or whatever, just how to milk more or keep on milking their consummers. And Sts is a good cow for Apple.

Apple has stable base of buyers and will keep it anyway.
Dont forget that iphones/pod r high end products and expensive in their categories.
So those r consummers with high spending potential.
The pad1&2 are still the highest numbers of tablet sold. Android ones r still far, but theyll catch on soon.
Appstore is still unmatch in quality.
Android on the other hand have no flagship. Too much choices that you lose yourself. They r all struggling. Nothing consistent.

Simply put Ios+appstore are making money for Apple while Android+Amarket=no cash for other Phone/tablet companies.
Whos the winner now, what company has more cash in reserve than USA lol.
