Microsoft: Over 75,000 Windows Phone Apps Were Published In 2012, Average User Downloaded 54

There can be no doubt that 2012 was a very important year for Microsoft, though it probably wasn't the successful year the company had envisioned when it planned it. With the launch of Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, Microsoft's biggest challenge beyond just getting people to buy them, was getting developers to write apps for them. According to Todd Brix, Microsoft's Senior Director for Windows Marketplace, there are now more apps available for Windows Phone users "than at any time since we first launched Windows Phone 7 two years ago" (it would, of course, be pretty embarrassing if that wasn't the case). Overall, Microsoft certified and published over 75,000 new apps and games in 2012, roughly doubling the number of available apps over the year. Developers also published over 300,000 updates.
