My problem is really two fold:
1) There is no game on Android that is of the same quality as Infinity Blade. It's just a reality. There are some great games there, but I think there is still demand for much higher quality overall.
2) Epic creates an engine that it is in their best interest to show how versatile it is. There is no technical reason that Infinity Blade is not on Android. Even Trendy made Dungeon Defenders work on all the major platforms out there. Showing how little work it takes to port games from one platform to another using UE3 seems like an extremely lucrative position to take.
And, let's not fool ourselves, these guys are all from Epic. They are doing iOS because Epic did iOS and they think it will work. I like and respect Lee Perry and I think he does a great job and I have no doubt that Lili will be a great game. But I also know he is going to come into this with the same biases Epic had as a company. I could hope that he wouldn't, but it's part of the culture and there is really nothing intrinsically wrong with it.
Out of all those people that develop for iOS, how many of them make enough money to live off of that are not massive enterprises with plenty of money to do whatever they want and advertise the crap out of their product off of the App Store? I would hazard a guess that the answer is "not many". The top 200 games likely represent almost all of the income from the App Store on a daily basis. Considering that is more than likely populated by less than 100 companies selling two or more apps, that is not a great prospect. All mobile development is that way. It's not even fair to compare the ratios. Releasing on iOS can be more lucrative if you're extremely lucky, but for most people it's probably equally lucrative or they just get entirely lost in the noise.
On a side note, Rovio has said they make far more money off of ad revenue from Angry Birds on Android than they have ever made off of the iOS versions of Angry Birds. That is telling another incredible story.
