How many downloads does your game typically get in one week?

I amn't sure whether I should be celebrating with the release of my first new game, so I made this poll to see the average number of downloads. You are welcome to vote or comment, but you do not have to give any information. I understand this may be private info, but thanks for your input!

    If it is the first week for the app (live on the App Store) than it's probably 100+

    However, after it dies down I'm getting around 15.

    Were about to release our first app in a couple weeks. I'll let you know how it goes download wise!

    Cheers

    why not make two polls? one for paid revenue, the other for free downloads

    @IcedB all right, it makes no sense this poll.
    @master200012 did you mean paid or free or both?

    I think this post is in fact very interesting, its my first time developing a game and i hope earn at least enought money to buy a new mac, but i dont know the averege of sells in the app market...

    would be great if you specify free and paid downloads!

    I was actually assuming the lite version (free) of an app.

    Also, it depends on whether or not you market it.

    Not to be pessimistic but for a paid version, in my opinion, the app would hardly sell...:P

    Depends on the platform (iOS, Kindle, Nook, etc). My best app about 1200+ per week.

    Oh I answered how many for paid apps. When I put my game free for a week it was in the 1000+ category each day. For paid apps, so far it's in the 10-99.

    LOL @master200012
    If it makes you feel better, most of my apps only get like 10-15 downloads per week, and I don't use GameSalad for all of them :)

    nah, I'm fine, @deadlights .

    But it does interest me which markets tend to sell better.

    I heard the Kindle sells great, I know business on the App Store is harsh, but I haven't heard much about the other markets.

    Any experience on this?

    @master200012 In my experience, I sell way more on the Nook than the Kindle. It really depends on the genre of game though. On the iPhone, my action/adventure games do better, while on the Nook, my educational games do much better. The Kindle is kind of hit or miss for me, I haven't really figured out what works there :)

    Some days I get up to 300 downloads and some days I get 1 download. The minimum I get in a week is 30 downloads and the maximum is 400 downloads.
