I think the experience is strongly dependent on the market type, customer base and amenability to marketing of your app.

Tha apple stores and steam store seems to have made a world of difference for indie RPG maker, Jeff Vogel. http://jeff-vogel.blogspot.com/2012/05/quick-thoughts-on-and...

But then, although he joined the app store model late, he serves a niche market with a healthy balance of competitors and had an existing base of loyal fans.

Of course there are some success stories, and in this guy's case it didn't hurt that this guy already had a large fan base, Humble Bundle exposure etc.

But I still maintain that it's far, far easier for the average competent solo developer to make money consulting than developing new apps.
