So, Pokemon Go has kind of taken over my life for the last three or four days… Along with the rest of the world! It feels that way anyway. I’m very curious to see how long the craze lasts.

I read some amazing stats online about how quickly this things has grown. Below are some of the things I read and heard today. This is amazing! The game has only been out five or six days, and currently has only been released in the US, Australia and New Zealand.

• Added $10b to Nintendo’s value in two days
• Nintendo share price shot up 36% in two days
• On android devices, more people have installed Pokemon Go than Tinder
• Pokemon Go is approaching the amount of unique daily users that Twitter has
• People spend more time per day, on average, playing Pokemon Go than they do on Instagram, Snap Chat, Messenger and Whats App
• Apparently it cost around $30m to develop the game, and in less than a week they’ve already taken in over $14m, and is now churning out about $1.6m in revenue a day

 

Crazy. Good news is, I just went out and took down three gyms!! Pokedex is currently sitting at 56.
