Pokemon GO outpaces Clash Royale in becoming the fastest game to reach the top spot on the mobile revenue charts

Pokemon GO has officially become the fastest game ever to reach the number-one spot on the mobile revenue charts, outpacing the previous record holder – Supercell’s Clash Royale, which reached the top spot after two days on iOS and seven days on Android. Meanwhile, Pokemon GO reached that position in under a day on iOS and just four days on Android, according to app-market tracking firm App Annie (via GamesBeat).

“Even though Pokémon Go is only officially open in three countries, the game is generating well over $1 million of net revenue for Niantic Labs,” said App Annie communications boss Fabien Pierre-Nicolas. “I can easily envision a run-rate of over $1 billion per year with less server issues, a worldwide presence, and more social and player-vs.-player features.” Pokemon GO is available now as a free download on iOS and Android devices. Its very first patch went live earlier today.
