Pokemon Go has made over $160 million

4.4
Pokemon Go, which has more or less taken over the world at this point, has had a phenomenally successful launch despite numerous issues.

App optimization and marketing blog Sensor Tower is reporting that the game, which is free to download, has generated $160 million in revenue since its launch on July 6. These numbers have apparently not been affected by negative reviews or backlash.

These are huge numbers, and further go to show the reach of the Pokemon brand. Hopefully some of the issues that have popped up lately, such as the removal of tracking, are sorted soon.

The report also shows that users of the app are, on average, spending more time in Pokemon Go per day than they are in Facebook.

Mickers I think this game is absolutely bonkers personally and how people give it the time of day is beyond me.


It's not that bad man, lol, bots just made it that much easier and a lot more fun to play too, ha.

Having made that much you'd think they would be fixing bugs and pushing updates out quicker.

Most people I know have deleted the app because the tracker in the game has now shut down. Not my sort of game to pay lets just say.

That's amazing but not surprising. Since it is a top played game.

Damn that's crazy and it launched less than a month ago. Probably will keep growing at a good rate also until this trend dies out.
