A little over a week ago, Nintendo decided to launch one of its great international hits, Mario Kart, on mobile phones. It should be noted that in this video games for smartphones Nintendo has a peculiar way of doing things, an example is this same Mario Kart that is played vertically and that is liking many, but causing complaints from the most purists of the saga . Be that as it may, Mario Kart has become Nintendo's most successful launch for mobile phones with around one hundred million downloads, did you like the game?
More specifically the game it has obtained 36,5 million downloads on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch), and 53,5 million downloads on devices running Android. Perhaps I expected more downloads on Android considering its significant market share. However, the downloads continue to happen so the barrier of 100 million downloads is going to be surpassed sooner rather than later. This completely sweeps out Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp which reached around 14,3 million downloads in its first week, including Super Mario Run which stayed at 13 million downloads and certainly Fire Emblem Heroes, which stalled. in the 8,1 million downloads.
In terms of benefits, the issue is not so overwhelming, and it is that Mario Kart Tour has obtained 12,7 million dollars in the first week, behind Super Mario Run that reached 16,7 million dollars and far from Fire Emblem Heroes that exceeded $ 28 million. On iOS, the video game is obtaining an average of $ 0,26 per download, while on Android, as usual, it only produces average benefits per download of $ 0,06, important difference that reminds us why developers put so much effort into their iOS applications.
