Pokémon Go makes $2,412 in a minute. In an hour, the popular mobile game from Niantic Labs makes $144,700. And during that time, 252 people download it.
That’s the real-time calculation from Decluttr.com, which repurposed data from market researcher Think Gaming for its motion graphic. But while Pokémon Go earned more in a minute, others made more money during the full year, according to data from App Annie. Overall, the mobile game market generated an estimated $36 billion in revenue in 2016, and Pokémon Go broke records as the fastest-growing mobile game of all time.
