The 2010 revenue for the App Store was something like 17 times that of the Android Market even with a smaller market share.

I think the platform you pick has more to do with how your application/service works rather than market share.

Sure, number of potential installs isn't the only relevant metric. I was just questioning the assertion that it wasn't a relevant metric at all.
