Super Mario Run it was downloaded 40 million times in just 4 days after its release in the AppStore, according to the developer company Nintendo, revealing everything in a press release. This is a record for a game released for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, and those from Nintendo had a lot of help from Apple to achieve it.
Various monitoring services of the AppStore had given lower download numbers for Super Mario Run, but the game had a much greater success than they expected. Everything is based on the increased interest in the game, but also the fact that extremely many people were looking forward to playing it after the presentation made in September.
Those from Nintendo have not revealed the sums collected from the success of their game, but we are most likely talking about over 100 million dollars. Super Mario Run has never had the confidence of analysts that it could surpass Pokemon Go in terms of revenue, but here we may be surprised by what it will achieve.
Super Mario Run is in the top 10 games in terms of revenue in 100 AppStores on the planet, and that says a lot about its success. There is a possibility that the game will generate up to 200 million dollars in revenue by the end of the year, but it remains to be seen what we will find out after Christmas about its revenue.
"We are pleased to announce that we have exceeded 40 million downloads worldwide in 4 days. In addition, "Super Mario Run" ranks first in the App Store free game ranking in 140 countries and regions, and has entered the top 10 games that earned money in 100 App Stores worldwide."
