I don't think consumer software has been that valuable in my lifetime. MS Office, & Turbo Tax are killer apps that people pay for. People willingly pay for online games too. Other than that? I guess some people buy apps.

I don't think it's regional. I've never bought an app. I paid for some dev tools, but that's it. Selling productivity outside of people's work is an uphill battle.
