Summary: Steve Jobs reported that downloads of applications from the Apple app store have reached over 60 million. The downloads added $30 million to the Apple revenue line in the first 30 days. Topping the list of downloaded apps was Super Monkey Ball which was downloaded 300,000 times.
Steve Jobs shared some stats on how the iPhone App store is doing one month after launch with the WSJ’s Nick Wingfield. There have already been 60 million downloads, the majority of them free. But paid downloads are doing just fine, pulling in $30 million in revenues in the first 30 days. The article does not reveal the total number of paid downloads, but given that apps range in price (mostly gravitating either to 99 cents or $9.99, but one briefly going as high as $999, before it was pulled down), it is safe to say that fewer than 30 million paid apps have been sold. One game alone, Sega’s $9.99 Super Monkey Ball, sold 300,000 copies (or $3 million worth). That one game alone accounted for 10 percent of all iPhone app sales. More on the iPhone from hitspot.com.
