OK, so you're arguing customers spend <= 10 dollars per app on multiple apps. How many apps? These arguments are being used to make the case that Apple deserves to earn $20 billion USD per year, or even must. I think if you're going that far you should be able to at least support that with napkin math instead of hand-waving.

There are two facts you are not taking into consideration, instead you chose to attack something I didn't write. Those two facts are:

  1. A Customer is not the same as a Sale.  There can be muptiple Sales per Customer.
  2. App Sales * Avg App Cost is not the same as Total Sales.  There are also in-app sales.

I think you are arguing for the sake of arguing.

If I find a game I enjoy, I will usually give them 5-10 and play until it gets ridiculous. I don’t want to play a game for a month, check up on it every day, etc.
