    And what percentage of them are:

    ...lite versions?

    ...Points for an MMO?

    ...basically an advertisement?

    I wonder if these figures are before or after the pr0n filter hit.

    yeah, you mean 90% shit apps? I know less good games in the appstore then what the psp library have to offer. And the psp have more fully fleshed console games then the appstore will ever have. Maybe we will see more advanced ones on the Ipad, but never as good imo..

    True, but then they'll be like WTFBBQ when they actually pick up an iDevice.

    I swear, the App Store is:
    10% Flashlight apps
    25% Sexy apps
    30% Lites
    20% Advertisements
    10% Crap apps (or crapps)
    5% Actual good apps

    The sad thing is Apple fanboys buy this crap hook, line and sinker. I wouldn't even go so far to say that 95% of the apps are crap, more like 99%.

    It's not like either the DS or the PSP are absolutely stocked to the rafters with top quality titles. Most games for them are dross, too - the big difference is that App Store dross mostly weighs in at about a dollar.

    The DS is stocked full of quality titles. Even with the lack of software on the PSP in comparison, I guarantee you the percentage of crap on each platform is well below 95%.

    You guys are being way too generous. 99% of those apps are probably utter dog****

    That is what I said. In fact, 99% may even be too generous. At 50,000 games, if 1% aren't crap that is 500 descent games There is no way there are 500 descent or good games on the app store.

    Australia, mate!
    It's not surprising, considering that it is so cheap and easy to create iPhone apps.

    I still think that if you take the best of the games from the App Store, PSP and DS, the App Store has the most worthwhile games. I'm not sure about the DS, but from I know for fact that not every PSP game is a polished AAA title - I have played an equal amount of shit games on my PSP as I have on my iPhone.
    For example, I have just over 500 games in my iTunes library. And roughly 500 of them are good games. However I am very specific when it comes to games (i.e - I rarely buy Tower Defense games, RPG games, Sports games etc), I miss games that I have never heard about, and sometimes I cannot afford a game. Take those factors into account and multiply my games by 4 (although it is probably more like x 8), which equals about 2,000 good games which is in my opinion a bare minimum estimate of the number of good games on the App Store. That alone almost matches the PSP.

    But I agree that the majority of games on the App Store are utter crap.

    You sir are crazy, but then again there's gazillions of Justin Bieber fans so people have questionable tastes. That's totally ok.

    You talking to me?

    If so, read what I said more carefully.

    PS - I hate Justin Bieber, I'd kill him if I had the chance.

    Only 500 good ones? That could be debateable. I'd say about 10-15 percent are good apps.
