Pokemon GO Breaks Another Record
Now here’s another record the game has broken- currently, Pokemon GO is the highest grossing app in all 33 countries that the game has launched in, making it the first and only mobile app to do so in history, according to industry reporter ZHugeX. This means that not only are people downloading the game just to check out the craze- they are also playing it, and paying money to play it via optional in game microtransactions, in record breaking amounts.
The end result of all this is that Nintendo has had a record breaking (yep, another one) day at the Tokyo Stock Exchange- Bloomberg reports that Nintendo traded 476 billion yen ($4.5 billion) worth of shares on Friday, the biggest daily turnover for any company in the Topix index this century.
With the game having launched in Canada just now, and due for launch in Japan by the end of this month, it doesn’t seem like the Pokemon GO train is stopping any time soon. Let’s hope Nintendo can learn some lessons from the game’s success, and apply them to the upcoming NX.

I just find it a bit odd that they didn't make the servers strong, or even able to hold so many people.. Of course everyone would want to play this. This was my dream when I was a kid xD

Supervisor For real Pokemon is getting big now. This app is pretty good too.
Sadly I don't have a phone capable of running it, but I should soon lol

This is crazy. Pokemon GO out here killing shit and the numbers don't lie. With micro transactions I could see people spending their whole check on this game just to be better than their friends. Can't wait to see more records broke and more stats when the game releases in other regions.
