Hi, I have my first game out on the app store right now and I was just curious, but what has everyone's sales looked like during christmas. I would assume that they would get a lot more sales, or is that mostly for the bigger apps on the store(top 50). Share what your sales were like before and then during it, thanks.
Maybe you could read the email sent by Apple to inform to that iTunes Connect is download from 23rd to 29th December so therefore we can't access sales.
As a finger in the air job, my server logs are slightly down on last year - by at this point in the day (22.00 GMT) I'm where I was last year at 20:40 GMT, so about an hour and a half's sales behind, if that makes sense at all!!

I've sold 1,785,953 according to my server logs. This is a lot higher than last year. I don't see my app in the top 50. I don't know why. Must be the rank freeze.

Analysing the data from my servers a bit closer, it would seem I had 82% of the new UDID's I did last year 'phone home', and 85% of the total number of images rendered, so probably (hopefully!!!!) end up with 80-85% of the revenue from last year.
Having said that, I'll probably get the official figures and be totally disappointed

But last year my sales went up 600%.
I know itunes connect is down, but i was wondering mostly what people's sales were last christmas or i guess some people can use their servers to estimate how many more sales they are getting.
I actually underestimated last year, probably people buying the app on Xmas day but not actually using it (and therefore registering a hit on the server) for a few days, so the surprise was even nicer. Last year I was selling about 450-500 units a day, Xmas day I shifted 3998. Bugger those two who didn't buy it.
This year I'd be very happy with half of that. I mentioned in another thread somewhere that I think the 'old school' devs will look back at 2009 with fond memories!

Wow 3998 that's completely crazy.
How long did the boost last for you last year?
I just took a look at my stats
Looks like today's sales will be even better than yesterday.
For my game the downloads have gone up too, but I don't know how many of these are pirates. Piracy rate for that app is like 95% I hope most of the additional sales will be legit. After all why would anyone wait till christmas to pirate the app.
Christmas Sales!!!
