Default Which game categories are more popular?

Guys, did you stumble upon a list of games categories sorted by how much money is in them?

I'm especially interested in the "Puzzle" & "Trivia" categories - any field reports, etc. you know?

If you go to the iTunes store on your computer, you can see the total number of apps (divided by paid and free) in each category and also in each game subcategory as well.

@dapis: that tells me how much competition is there, not how much demand is there

Oh, I thought you were interested in popularity from the developer side! Sorry about that.

Knowing the competition is useful too, however. What you need is a category with high demand and low competition.
