Could not miss the last hype of the year, hype associated with the mythical Mario, the most well-known plumber in the world and since last December 15th is already available in the App Store in the form of Super Mario Run. This game, which has received a large number of negative reviews, due to the fact that users are not willing to pay the 10 euros that the full game costs. These negative reviews, despite having generated more than 37 million downloads of the application, have caused the value of the company to drop on the stock market, as we announced a few days ago.
But not everyone has expressed their discomfort at having to pay to play, something that some users are badly accustomed to, since there have also been many users who have paid the 9,9 euros it costs to unlock the entire game. . All these users have allowed Nintendo have been able to enter only through this game about 14 million dollars, of which 30% is taken by Apple, for offering the application directly through its application stores.
Of those 37 million download, 11 of them have originated in the United States, 1,5 million in the United Kingdom while Japan, the homeland of Nintendo, has downloaded this game 7,5 million times. The rest of the world share the rest, 17 million download it. The American users have left in the game 8 million dollars, Japan 3 million and the United Kingdom 600.000 dollars. The rest of the countries complete with 2,4 million dollars, the 14 million income that this application obtained during the first three days of availability in the App Store.
What is clear is that the idea of Pokémon GO to allow micro payments has allowed the Niantic company become the developer with the highest income throughout this year, an idea that if Nintendo had used it, it is likely that it would have generated much more income than with a single integrated payment of 9,99 euros and also would have avoided many of the bad reviews that the application has received.
