According to app revenue estimator ThinkGaming, Pokemon GO makes $1.6 million per day on the iOS store just in the USA. Although this number is unconfirmed, previously Tatsumi Kimishima, the President of Nintendo, has stated that online estimates for Miitomo have been pretty accurate. As a result, it is likely that these numbers are at least ballpark accurate as well.
A recent lawsuit against Pokemon Go maker Niantic claims the company made it difficult for minors to get refunds for in-app purchases. This could be relevant if your child under 18 spent real money on the game between July 2016 and the present.
After the release of the horrid avatar update, Pokémon GO fans are trying to get items refunded. This has led to some getting threats of being banned.
The avatar update for Pokémon GO has officially been rolled out and fans are not happy about it. Some are demanding refunds for previously purchased clothing.
So now Nintendo will focus all their casual software efforts towards smarts phones, nice! ;)
Holy shit, just on iOS and just in America. Holy shit again!!
Yeah but that number will decline quickly.. you know, they way it kills off its players and all... /s
Good news for Nintendo's future. And I'm enjoying it when it loads.
Let Nintendo make that money so that it funds the NX proper, if that's how it works, lol. Not sure if the mobile division can fund console development.
