Lol, wut? I thought they already knew >_<

nintendo's stock doubled creating 42.5 billion in market cap over knowledge that nintendo is only receiving 130m on a 1B in revenue?

..no.

Cause Nintendo could use the money from wii u failure?

I'm going to assume you're serious. So you want Nintendo to make money despite failures and for being given credit for something they didn't even make? Do you think a company deserves to make money regardless of how poorly it does? That's fanboyism. That's being a corporate drone. You should expect better from them and want them to earn their money. Be better than that.

This is a better info...

In fact they share goes down because Nintendo told them the Pokemon success will have limited impact in the current fiscal year and that Nintendo already factored the accessory sales in the forecast released in April.

I play Pokémon Go from the passenger seat while Legend drives around town doing errands. It works pretty well since our neighborhood doesn't have a lot of spawn points.

I haven't opened it since Sunday since I ran out of pokeballs. I guess I'll walk to a couple pokestops so my kid can play Friday

battleship they delayed WW release due servers while everybody in Brasil is waiting.

It is crazy how a casual radio here that never talked about games said it is a fever and brasilians can't wait to play it. Even cases of people stopping to work to play it lol

Finally released in Brasil.

Although Pokemon Go has been plagued by glitches, bugs and missing features over the past few weeks, new data shows that users are still playing the game just as much.

Sensor Tower found that from July 30th to August 1st, the average Pokemon Go user spent 26 minutes and 5 seconds playing the game each day. This is actually an increase from July 22nd to July 29th, when the average time spent in the app was 25 minutes and 40 seconds. Both numbers were higher than the amount of time the typical iPhone owner spent in the Facebook app.

This suggests that those who have stuck with Pokemon Go are not sinking any less time into the game due to the app's various bugs. Sensor Tower's data does not, however, include any information about the number of daily active players; it only concludes how much time players are pouring into the game.

I'm honestly reminded of draw something.  Or whatever that game was called.

No updates of any substance for a while now. It needs more stuff to do and the tracking system back.

Plus, they made trying to catch Pokémon less fun by making even the weakest ones able to run away or get out of a great throw

[DD_Bwest]

the tracker situation is probably responsible for a lot.   their system was totally broken and never worked.  the trackers made things playable

they should have just left the tracker sites alone lol
