Super Mario Run generated 3 million downloads on the first day of availability, according to a company specialized in analyzing app downloads from the AppStore. So we are not talking about data that comes directly from Nintendo, but according to the company that provides this information, the figure of Super Mario Run is more than 3 times higher than that of Pokemon GO.
The big difference between Super Mario Run and Pokemon GO lies in the fact that the first is available in 150 countries from the start, while the second was launched in only 3 countries. Even so, Apple had announced that 15 million people had registered to be notified when Super Mario Run would be released, so the initial number of downloads seems small.
However, it must be taken into account that Apple did not send notifications regarding the launch of Super Mario Run until after the application was launched in the AppStore. No one knows why the notification system created especially for Super Mario Run did not work as it should, but Apple has time to answer all these questions.
Super Mario Run extremely quickly reached the top of the most popular free applications in the AppStore, but also the top of the applications that generate the highest revenues in the store. Super Mario Run was, most likely, downloaded more than 10 million times in the first 2 days of availability, but the numbers can only be confirmed by those from Nintendo or Apple.
