Factors like time available in the App Store seem to have had an effect, but latecomers like Line Rider iRide prove that isn’t the only thing at play." One factor to consider is the sales curve on some of these apps. Do certain apps, or classes of apps, tend to have a strong spike in sales when they are first publicized, only to reach a saturation point and drop off rapidly? Perhaps other classes have a flatter curve with a longer tail? It would be interesting if some of the app vendors would make their sales numbers over time available. Those are the data I would like to see. “The list is well worth a look.
