Miitomo is a Hit

Miitomo is a hit, and know one should be surprised. While I continue to have my reservations about how long it will continue to be relevant without some significant changes, it appears as if people are happy with it for now. They are really happy, in fact. Today, Nintendo released some data on Miitomo’s success since launch. With over 4 million active monthly users, the game is generating 40,000 dollars per day. The average user is playing for 8 minutes per day.

I quit on Miitomo the second I had enough platinum points to download the Legend of Zelda Picross. I feel like many people have done the same as I have, although a few others have mentioned to me that they are playing a bit longer to cash in on the Mario and Donkey Kong 3DS themes as well. However, Nintendo needs to change something in Miitomo to keep it relevant. I think the numbers will decrease at a pretty steady rate for Nintendo, at least on this title.

What is really exciting about these numbers, however, is what this might mean for Pokemon Go. Will we get double the numbers and revenue? It wouldn’t surprise me!
