minus-squaretoothpaste_sandwich@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoI see what you mean, that is very impressive. Still, I think being a successful company still doesn’t give a status of “cornering the market”.
minus-squareFoxBJK@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoApple might be getting all the profit, but I really wouldn’t compare iOS gamers to Steam gamers. Feels like vastly different use cases for the types of games people buy (unless there’s people out there playing Candy Crush on a deck, which…. Why??)
minus-squareangstylittlecatboy@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoEven in the US it’s not “cornered,” it’s 53% iOS, 45% Android and 1% other.
minus-squareTelodzrum@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoIt’s more useful to look at sales dollars in this context. Apple absolutely dominates in most desirable markets at its chosen price bracket.
