2014 was the year in which App Store- has lost its supremacy in terms of the number of downloads generated for the applications available in it, Google Play generating 60% more downloads. Having more applications than the App Store, Google Play benefits from the very large number of terminals Android active worldwide, with users downloading an impressive number of applications. Despite this, the App Store still generated 60% more money than Google Play last year, the financial aspect being the most important to everyone.
The interesting part is that the USA, Japan and South Korea they generated together as much money as all other countries where there are virtual application stores. The concentration of the largest part of the receipts in these countries only calls into question the willingness of Europeans to support the work of developers and reveals again the fact that Asia has the most active smartphone owners. Having said that, Apple remained only with the supremacy of profit for its App Store and probably in the coming years it will lose this strong point, the increasing number of active Android terminals will also generate higher revenues for Google and developers.
