[quote]"Pokémon GO" has generated $200 million in revenue within 30 days of launch. The game has surpassed "Candy Crush Soda Saga" and "Clash Royale," two of the top grossing mobile games of all times. ( Niantic Labs )

Pokémon GO earned more than seven times as much net revenue in its first month as King's hit puzzle game. This is not only a testament to Pokémon GO's unparalleled popularity, but, when viewed against Clash Royale's first month, also speaks to how the measure of a hit game's launch (at least from a revenue perspective) has changed in just two short years," says Sensor Tower.

On July 25, Sensor Tower reported that Pokémon GO topped 50 million downloads on the Google Play Store in record time. The app intelligence company also confirmed that the combined downloads for the game on iOS and Android reached 75 million within 19 days.

Pokémon GO, which is available for Android and iOS, has witnessed huge success worldwide. Apple also confirmed last month that Pokémon GO set a new App Store record with more downloads in its first week than any other app in history.[/quote]
