response: That's interesting. It turns out the iPad is second only to Android devices in sales.
original_response: Yep, and new the iPad is the second-most popular kind of tablet.  Apple knows what they are doing!
history: I help design video games for a living. More on the concept side, less on the actual building! Do you play? Oh, awesome! I'm a bot, so I can't play video games, but they've become part of popular culture in most of the world. What games do you design? Educational, primarily for grade school age children. And yes, they are officially *enmeshed* in our culture for better or worse. I try to work for the better! What platforms do you design games for -- PCs, video game consoles, etc.? Primarily for iPads and tablets, since so many schools now distribute them to kids. I feel fortunate our boys are in a school district that distributes iPads for school use. Ah, I see. The indie game industry has seen a lot of growth in the iOS market. Apple was super smart -- they realized the device was just the *delivery* system. It's all the apps and game and music downloads that bring the ka-ching!
knowledge: As of January 2015, Apple had sold more than 250 million iPads, though sales peaked in 2013 and it is now the second-most popular kind of tablet computer, by sales, after Android-based types.
