Pokemon GO is Bringing In Some Serious Coin
In case you haven’t heard, Pokemon GO has taken the gaming world by storm. So it comes as no surprise, the game is making a crap-ton of money on the iOS. According to app revenue estimator ThinkGaming, Pokemon GO makes over $1.6 million per day on the iOS store and that just in the USA. Impressive sales indeed!
We anticipate the numbers will likely begin to tumble as the app drops from the top place on iOS; however, the game is showing no signs of showing down as this point.
Although this number is merely an estimate, it is noted Tatsumi Kimishima, the President of Nintendo, has previously stated that online estimates for Miitomo have been pretty accurate. As a result, you could safely assume these numbers are at least ballpark accurate as well.
Pokemon Go is free, but it does contain microtransactions. In order to catch Pokemon, you have to actually be playing with your phone open. In Pokemon Go, travel between the real world and the virtual world of Pokémon on iPhone and Android devices. Discover Pokémon in a whole new world—your own. Pokémon GO is built on Niantic’s Real World Gaming Platform and will use real locations to encourage players to search far and wide in the real world to discover Pokémon. The game allows players to find and catch more than a hundred different Pokémon as they explore their surroundings.
