“Nintendo might have been slow to adapt to the smartphone era, but now that it’s doing it, it’s doing it in full force and showing tremendous power”, said Hiroyuki Kubota, a financial analyst.
There has been a gush in the stocks of Nintendo since the launch of the game in United State and a single share seems to be trading at about 26,500 yen ($250) in Tokyo which is upped more than 40%.
At 154 million units sold worldwide, it’s only just short of the top spot held by Sony’s Playstation 2. “The successes of Pokemon Go will open the eyes of executives in Kyoto”.
Just how big is it?
“There could be a board game you could make in the real world where people are capturing locations like Risk or something”. For example, take this video of hundreds of players flocking to a park in NY, just because a rare Pokemon appeared nearby.
Another user said: “So far my auto has failed it’s MOT then Kante leaves us for Chelsea and now Pokemon Go won’t sign me in!”
“During the initial stages of Ingress, players were able to submit portals that would then be approved by Niantic”. Any Pokestop or gym can wait until the morning when there are a lot of people. Users have had no luck playing the mega-hit game. Though, initially released for US, New Zealand and Australia (and later on, a few other countries), you can still download the game on your phone. According to the report, folks have been braving stormy weather in order to catch even more Pokemon.
Where can Nintendo and Niantic go from here?
Last week, Pokemon Go was finally released on app in Britain on the iOS App Store and Google Play. The inadequacy of game server capability under peak loads coupled with unauthorized login attempts through third-party APK installations had crashed Nintendo’s servers earlier. Why was that? In a nutshell: while it developed a cult following, it involved more team management, more sci-fi and, well, less Pokemon.
Soon, if not by the end of July.
What does it mean for AR tech? If the trend continues, it is possible for Pokemon Go to overtake the popularity of Snapchat, WhatsApp, and other social apps.
Pokémon GO is available in twenty-six new countries.
“Pokémon Go signals that these modes of engaging with media and public space may actually be entertaining”. Companies with a physical presence can pay to have “lures” at their chosen location, which is about as tongue-in-cheek as it gets: they lure virtual Pokemon who lure real people with cash to spend.
