Clash of Clans, #1 Grossing app of the App Store

Clash of Clans, #1 Grossing app of the App Store
 

Candy Crush Saga, the super addictive and extremely popular game has been dethroned by Clash of Clans! The now highest grossing app in the App Store makes an estimated 1.5 Million a day. In a year, that’s 547.5 Million! What’s even more surprising is that Candy Crush Saga has more members than Clash of Clans, yet it seems clan members just like to use a little money cheats to improve their in-game clan. The main question is, how long will this last. Perhaps it could remain being the highest grossing app of 2014, or Candy Crush Saga will overtake it some time down the road.

Walking down the hallways of BHS, you will see countless students on their phones, either playing the one of the two million dollar games or on social media. Now this is most likely the same case in many High Schools in the States. From a visual survey I conducted, Clash of Clans has mainly male players, while Candy Crush has mixed. Could this mean that male video game players spend more when in-game or is Clash of Clans just a very good app for business.
