Super Mario Run Already Top Of App Store
Super Mario Run released yesterday for the iOS, and it appears to already be a mega hit, likely to the surprise of few. The game has already skyrocketed to the top of the high grossing charts on the US App Store
As you can see via the pic below, the game is already beating out in its first day: Mobile Strike, Pokemon GO, Game of War, and even Netflix.
What’s important to note, is that this doesn’t reveal how many people have played/downloaded the title. Though based on reviews, it’s safe to say it’s over 1,000. And likely can be multiplied by a higher number.
Once more concrete figures are released, we’ll let you know what they are. Regardless, they will no doubt increase once Super Mario Run releases on Android sometime next year. The real question is, how high will the number go in regards to downloads? At $10 to buy it, it’s much higher than most mobile games as some have noted. And especially compared to Pokemon GO, which is free to download. Also, the need for an internet connection to play every mode has angered some gamers, and thus it could affect the play numbers.
Some have predicted this game could have over 1 billion downloads because of the popularity of Mario, but will that happen? Time will tell.
