'Marvel Puzzle Quest' User Statistics (Platforms & Locales)

David [Hi-Fi] Moore

Hello everyone,

It's time for some stats! Because, who doesn't love some juicy statistics?! (Maybe don't answer that).

We recently took a look at how (mobile devices) and where (geographical location) players have been enjoying Marvel Puzzle Quest. We found the results rather interesting and we thought you might enjoy having a look. Thanks go out to IceIX for compiling this list and adding his personal thoughts on the results.

Device/Geographical Numbers as of October 20, 2014

iOS:
Most users update their OS (if they can):
42.6% are on 8.0.2
28.1% still hanging around on 7.1.2
239 users still using 6.0.0!

Also have 2 users on 8.2.0 and 18 on 8.3.0. Probably jailbroken users purposefully misreporting.

Top platforms:
iPhone 5S - 16.5%
iPhone 5 - 14.6%
iPhone 4S - 11.2%
iPad 2 - 6.4%
iPad Mini - 8.1%

Lowest platforms:
iPhone 6 - 1.4%
iPod Touch 4 - 1.5%

iPhone 6 makes sense. It's brand new, still expensive and doesn't offer anything much over the ubiquitous iPhone 5 models. The 6+ is already at 3.8% and growing though.

Android:
50.4% of users are on 4.4.0
A not unsizeable 2.5% are still sticking on 2.3.3

In just the last two releases, we've had users using 10,693 different models of Android devices. Of those, 8485 models have less than 10 users on them, and 4547 models have just one user. Fragmentation, it's a thing.

Because of the fragmentation, it's also rough getting an exact count on specific "overall" models of a device. For example, the Galaxy S3 has 22 different base identifiers (i9300, R530, l747, etc) and multiple sub-indentifiers when specific carriers mess with them. It's pretty easy to see that "Samsung" is the top manufacturer, but way harder to see specifically how many S3/S4/Note users we have without much digging.

Top Platforms (at a minimum):
Galaxy S3 - 5.2%
Galaxy S4 - 4.6%
Galaxy S5 - 2.6%
Nexus 7 - 2.1%
Nexus 5 - 1.3%
Note 3 - 1.1%

Top Manufacturers:
Samsung - 49.8%
LGE - 8.5%
Sony - 5.4%
HTC - 5.1%
Motorola - 4.9%

Demographics:
As expected, the US is leading the way for both platforms.
iOS - 42.8%
Android - 34%

After that, things split out pretty wide between the platforms. UK sits at #2 on iOS at 8.1%, but #4 on Android at 4.6% of users.

Top 5s are:

iOS
US - 42.8%
UK - 8.1%
Canada - 6%
Japan - 3.8%
Germany - 3.3%

Android
US - 34%
Brazil - 6%
Russia - 5.2%
UK - 4.6%
Mexico - 3.7%
