Pokemon GO Generating $2 Million A Day In Revenue - Report

4.4
Pokemon GO may not be as ridiculously popular anymore as it was around launch, but it’s still pretty darn popular. How popular? Well, it seems to have an army of dedicated fans playing it every day, and spending a good amount of money on it. According to a Newzoo report, Pokemon GO is still generating $2 million in revenue every day.

“Pokemon GO has opened our eyes in many ways. It has refreshed the top-grossing mobile game ranking that has been dominated by a small number of publishers and games for a long time,” Newzoo CEO Peter Warman said. “It has proven beyond a doubt that AR can be applied in ways that appeal to a mass audience. Equally important from a business perspective, it has given Niantic investor Google enormous insight and data that it can incorporate into its location-based advertising and services strategy. The fact that Pokemon GO has motivated kids and youngsters to spend more time outside is an additional bonus, even if that means they take their screens with them.”


According to this report, the game is currently at 550 million installs and $470 million in lifetime revenue- impressive figures, especially when you consider that it has not yet even launched in large markets like China, India, and South Korea.

That's insane to hear from a company who is with Google. The app has gone viral and world wide so I'm not surprised good on them I say.

Thats crazy, and Flappy bird was making $50k a day, or at least the developer was.

MushroomElm Wow, 2 million a day? If I had made that game, I'd already have retired with what they've made off of it, haha. And to think, Rockstar was bragging they just made 500 million after 3 years and this company made 470 Million in their VERY short life span.

It's missing a lot of features, but it's still fun when I'm out and about for a few moments. I never spent money on it myself, though.


What are you talking about? Rockstar has made far more than 500 million in the 3 years it's been out. They just released their annual for this year revenue of 700 million which is really good as the games been out for 3 year.

Not sure where you are getting that figure from rockstar. GTA made about $800 million in one day. And then $1billion in three days.
