Pokemon GO was totally a tsunami when it touched the somewhat deserted beaches of mobile gaming to leave a considerable income, as reported by the firm App Annie. It maintains that the game brought in total revenues of $ 950 million in 2016.
A game based on augmented reality and that has micropayment options in the form of objects that can be used for all kinds of actions. It is here where Pokemon GO has given the note to obtain such an amount of income for a game that it broke into the lives of many to make them leave their homes.
The video game, developed by Niantic Labs, was the first to reach 600 million dollars and now it does the same by managing to spend 800 million dollars. Only it took 110 days, which is twice as fast as Candy Crush Saga, which took 250 days to reach the first figure.
Keep in mind that Pokémon GO was not available to everyone in the beginning, and Ninantic needed to expand to more countries more slowly, since such resounding success was not expected and had to put the batteries to be able to undertake such a challenge.
It was not in total income capable of passing to Clash Royale and Monster Strike, although it did reach the 500 million downloads in less than two months since it was released in July 2016. Since then, gamers have walked 8.700 billion kilometers to get all those fighters. App Annie believes that the approach to a type of user who does not usually consume much time in other types of games, was where he knew how to hit Niantic with his Pokemon GO, although the popularity of the franchise was also to blame.
It was this past Christmas when a major update has been received with which it has been tried to recover part of that popularity, although it seems that it will be quite difficult.
