Windows 8 application leap forward number has exceeded 20000

We have reported that in the first two days of Windows 8 release, the Windows 8 app store has 500 new apps per day. Today's data shows that this growth momentum has been well maintained.

According to TNW, the website WinAppUpdate.com released data today:

Today, the total number of applications in the Windows 8 app store is 20,610 worldwide (we estimate that the milestone of 20,000 is on Tuesday) breakthrough). Of all applications, 17,958 were free apps, accounting for 87%.

The total number of Windows 8 apps in the US market is 12,675, which is 13,882 in the Chinese market.

As of October 18 this year, the total number of apps in the Windows 8 app store is 5,563. Based on this calculation, in the past month, the number of newly added applications in the Windows 8 app store has remained stable at around 500. In terms of the slightly exaggerated value of the 87% free ratio of Windows 8 applications, it is possible that application developers hope to preempt the budding market through price concessions, or it may be that Microsoft has exerted influence on marketing its own platform. .

Since not all apps support the global market, the number of apps in the Windows 8 app store in the regional market will be less than 20,000. Boldly guessing that China is the country with the largest number of Windows 8 applications worldwide.
