Is it time for a “Game Store” ?
Last night, I was listening to the podcast Under the Radar, hosted by @_DavidSmith and Marco Arment, about Improving the AppStore. Then I checked the top grossing apps on both iPhone and iPad. I found that the top grossing charts are insanely occupied by games. Have a look at the stats below..
In iPad, Out of top 200 grossing Apps 165 are games (83%).
In iPhone, Out of top 200 grossing Apps 149 are games (74%).
Is it ridiculous to think about having a separate “Game Store” than squeezing everything in to an “App Store”?!
Right Now, if we go to AppStore to look for some new Apps, Most homepage editorial features are games, Top charts are mostly games. It’s really tough finding new interesting apps. With 2 million apps/games in the app store today, Is it high time we name games as “Games” rather than “Apps”? Just a crazy thought I had.
I don’t know much. But this seems like a simple idea that can help us with better app and game discoveries.I would love to know why it’s not feasible.
