Pokemon Go is probably the biggest thing to have hit mobile gaming this year and over the past month or so, it has become a craze all across the world due to the sheer inventiveness of the game. However, for users who might be interested in finances, it is worth noting that the game has raked in a jaw dropping $440 million so far, according to a report by analysts at Sensor Tower.
The report states, "In less than two months after its July 6 launch in the United States, Pokémon GO has brought inmore than $440 million in gross worldwide revenue on the App Store and Google Play. This puts publisher Niantic's net revenue from the app at more than $308 million so far-a figure that has grown by more than $100 million since we last looked at the game's earnings back on August 5. In this post, we'll check in on the app's other metrics, as well as visualize this revenue milestone by a new one: comparing it to the global box office revenue of some of 2016's most anticipated summer movies. In just two months, Pokémon GO has become a financial success on the level of-and in many cases surpassing-major motion pictures."
The report states, that the app rakes in an average of $4 million per day and that is a staggering stat considering the fact that latest reports have suggested that the game is losing users fast. In addition to that, it is also worth noting that Pokemon Go is still not available in two of the most vibrant mobile markets in the world-India and China. If the game had been available in those countries then it is anybody's guess where the daily revenue would have stood. The most lucrative period for the game was in its very first week when it became the most downloaded app in history and garnered $14 million in revenues.
