Has anyone here successfully made money off of mobile games?

Lacking feedback directly from anyone who has done it: I get the impression that the secret is to throw lots of things against the wall and see what sticks. It paid off handsomely for Rovio, for example.

If you can crank out a new game every couple months, it might be possible to make a living that way. Unfortunately, nobody goes into games wanting to crank one out every couple months.

Here's a guy who has over 600 apps (mostly games) on the iOS appstore, all outsourced, and is making money off of them: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2shhgj/iama_25_year_ol...
