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-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.

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??)
