Sounds about right to me, though I'm sure Sony and MS have their own crappy plans for digital distribution ;)

"The proof for us has been Infinity Blade. It's a triple-A quality title built and shipped late last year. So far, we've earned more than $11 million of revenue from it - that's after Apple have taken their cut. Okay, it's not necessarily a strictly comparable case because Apple picked it up and promoted it heavily on TV etc.

Good games will always do well. The app store does give smaller developers a chance of hitting the big time with a decent game. The fact that Apple really saw the advertising potential of Infinity Blade showing off the capability of the iPad was a huge boost to its sales. I bought it after seeing the ads.
