This data looks bad and not in line with other reports:

According to our internal data which tallies tens of millions of app store installs on Android vs iOS, iOS both gets more downloads & revenue than Android in Japan.

I dont know why the data looks that wonky, but the graph that business insider uses (taken from Kantar) shows a similar pattern. http://www.businessinsider.my/apple-v-android-market-share-b...

You have posted a link about web browsing and another from 2012.

Do you gave a reliable report about marketshare because all reports tells that iOS have way less market share than Android in Japan

Looking at the pattern: if the statistic would end in autumn instead of summer, then iOS could also have come up on top.

How can market share dramatically swing between 30% and 60% like it's doing in this chart?

Is this bad data? Is the market expanding & contracting so greatly that existing users are a minority of future marketshare?
