Here's a gamasutra article on the various mobile OSes:

The interesting quote from the article is from PopCap:

"It certainly hasn't resonated with consumers as anyone would like," says PopCap's Stein, who uses a WP7 device as his everyday phone. "Given the install base of Windows Phone devices, our games have actually sold quite well, and it monetizes very well for customers who have a Windows Phone. There just aren't enough of them right now."



I expect a good game or app to do pretty well on any platform that has little competition and where the average app price is pretty high.


In general I agree. Although in terms of games, I think Windows Phone may already be on par with Android with respect to their marketplace. The Windows Phone games are quite impressive. Not iPhone yet, but moving quickly.
