This figure of 1.6 million dollars per day is only an estimate and only for one country, but it is limited only to Apple's iOS platform, so for Android we are probably talking about a similar figure, or maybe just a little lower, the total receipts being almost double for those from Nintendo.
In total, Pokemon GO was downloaded 7.5 million times from the App Store and Google Play, its success being impressive, but much more impressive are the revenue figures for the game, Nintendo earning several tens of millions of dollars in the days when its title was available for download on various platforms.
