Joel Comm, the developer of iFart, apparently is hell-bent on getting as much press as possible. This is why he has started to reveal sales stats of his flagship app – the latest post is below:
The format is date, daily units sold, overall ranking (starting 12/14) and entertainment category ranking.
12/12 – 75 units – #70 entertainment
12/13 – 296 units – #16 entertainment
12/14 – 841 units – #76 overall, #8 entertainment
12/15 – 1510 units – #39 overall, #5 entertainment
12/16 – 1797 units – #22 overall, #3 entertainment
12/17 – 2836 units – #15 overall, #3 entertainment
12/18 – 3086 units – #10 overall, #3 entertainment
12/19 – 3117 units – #9 overall, #2 entertainment
12/20 – 5497 units, – #4 overall, #2 entertainmentSo why the massive leap on 12/20? I can only suppose that either there is an exponential jump once you hit the top five, or the release of Sim City has been a rising tide that lifts all boats. Since it rocketed directly to the #1 spot, there are many eyeballs looking at the top ten.
I personally think that Joel’s explanation is logic to a large extent, as it mirrors my experienced with ESDs on other platforms. Many users just look at the top-10, new and featured lists – being on there allows you to reach a demographic which does not follow enthusiast web sites…
