Windows 10: Three Billion Visitors to Windows Store

not sure 3billion is big number or not, but really is the article even interesting ?
it even didnt give any information period 3billion accumulated, and i bet mostly come from win10-phone rather desktop

now, people that own android smartphone or iphone, who dont visit playstore or itunes store often ?
if playstore or itunes store share their visitor number, i think that 3billion things is nothing special

 

IMHO this was worth posting. It shows how successful the Windows store is. Why do I Care? The more successful Windows store is the better the chance of getting more and better apps.

 

Everything is not wonderful with the Windows Store.

Well I know I am excited for Windows Phone 10 to come to my Lumia 640 and I think that will boost some numbers.

My only complaint for now is do anyone know of Windows Phone is going to ever introduce encryption on there device? They are currently the only one that I know of who does not offer this feature unless you turn it on from exchange.

 

This is bound to be good news to Microsoft and may attract more app makers to the store. I guess the real question is 'how does it compare to Google Play or Apple store'' visitors who are not buying apps don't make anyone money.

I've visited store a few times but just can't find anything I would consider even spending a few £ on mainly perhaps because I normally log in with a local account instead of a Microsoft one. Good luck to Microsoft though , I hope they can attract big name Apps.

 

+1 That's correct

 

One area which I feel is crucial for Microsoft is how they have there developers make money in the app store...

I got my wife an IPad for Valentines day and the one thing I noticed about the app store on iOS was the amount of premium apps for purchase that honestly provides a much better user experience then the sea of freemium apps on Android. That is more of what I would like to see out of the Windows Store are quality apps to buy and not deal with annoying pop ups or energy points that goes down throughout the game that requires a day to recharge or pay money. Sell me the app for $.099 to $9.99 and get me to spend more money through DLC or a new version of the app.

As I said before number of people is irrelevant, the amount of money spent per person is key to bringing in new developers, new developers means more apps, more apps means more people become interested in the platform and therefore you then have success.

 

I have to say I believe this is true. Ubisoft just stated that xbox people spend 25% more on their games, which is pretty much why they have the partnerships in place. I think in general MS people spend more on everything whether its windows, consoles, bands, phones, etc.

 

I don't know what these numbers tell me. For me they are just numbers.

 

I only use a few apps from the store. All of them are free. I haven't found any apps worth buying.

 

I upgraded to Windows 10 back around the end of Dec, and must admit I have yet to go to the Store...

 

The only things I use from the store are a few Mahjong games and Netflix.
