Pokemon GO Tops Charts, Causes Surge In Nintendo’s Stock Price

4.4
The long awaited AR Pokemon MMO for smartphones, Pokemon GO is now finally out- and it has done just about as well as anyone might have expected. In fact, judging by the server strain the game seems to be experiencing, it seems to have surpassed even the most optimistic of predictions.

Shortly after launch, Pokemon GO is now topping charts on both, iOS and Android. On iOS, Pokemon GO is now the most downloaded free app on the platform- it is also the highest grossing app on the platform at the moment, well over even mobile game heavyweights such as Clash of Clans, Game of War, and Candy Crush.

Social media is ablaze with Pokemon, as, for the first time in 20 years, Pokemania appears to be back in full flow as a result of the mobile game. The end result of all of this momentum around Pokemon GO appears to be that Nintendo’s stock price is now at the highest it has been in months, jumping up by more than 10%, and leaving Nintendo with a high market valuation of $23 billion.

I'm not a fan myself of this game but the ratings and how many people have played the game is unreal.

XboxPosted:

So many people are playing this game it's crazy.

SegaPosted:

Not available in the UK yet (although there are ways of getting it) but i'll be giving it a go. Good to see Nintendo doing well though, seemed like they has significantly fallen behind in the gaming industry.

Earlier I was at the pond just walking around and there were ducks in the pond, I went to camera view and faced it towards the water, and you wanna guess what popped up? Freaking Psyduck lol

It's a good game with great potential, I went to the beach as well and found a group of 7 people, and a few wandering around also, that were playing. But one thing I have to say I'm disappointed in, is some people's lack of attention while playing, such as today, a friend of mine here in Florida for into a multiple-car pileup, because he saw a Bulbasaur and stopped paying attention to the road to catch it.

This game does have amazing potential, but please everyone, don't play this game while you're driving and even if you're just out walking, be smart, be alert to your surroundings, and be safe everyone.

It's a great thing that I have stock in Nintendo. Bought stock with them about 3 months ago. Still waiting for it to increase further before I cashout.

I hope they update the game so you don't need to keep your phone on for the game to work, like you can turn it off but get notifications if you walk near something. Drains the battery way too quickly.

This game has huge potential!
If they released developer feature for this game, I think it would be bigger than it is already.

I played Pokemon when I was younger, I was interested when I heard they were making this game and downloaded it as soon as I could, its not available in Canada yet so had to find other means to getting it ;)
