From my experience (2 apps in store, one has had 4 updates, second about to get update #1) I get a big spike of sales every time I release an update - I'm assuming this is because my app hits the numerous RSS feeds out there and people see it that way? I've also noticing a spike every saturday - possibly because people are at home loading apps on their newly-purchased phones. One thing that did surprise me: my first app is localized into 15 languages, but when I got my month-end sales results, about 95% of my sales were from english-speaking countries (N. America, UK, Australia/NZ) - so I would question the amount of work involved in localising .vs. the return in sales.. hehe – I’m in pretty much the same position as you, and was similarly chair-dislodged when I read that tweet..
