Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Miitomo generates $280k per week revenue.

Luke888 on 13 April 2016

Pretty decent as a start, it's certainly gona grow, as of now after 12 Months Miitomo would create a revenue of 14/15M dollars, certainly more than what it took to develop...

Wow... that's low. Actually at that rate even a Gameloft title was considered a mediocre performer. I know it is still early, but lets hope that it keeps growing.

$12 million revenue in a year is a long long long ... way from wii like profits
Though as the saying goes every long journey starts at a single step

For a company as big as Nintendo, 280k per week doesn't seem like something to boast about.

kind of an irrelevant number when you consider amount revenue a company like Nintendo is bringing in through other means and certainly not a high figure for a mobile app in terms of revenue

 

Point of this first Nintendo app isn't to make money, Nintendo said main point is to make people download app and open Nintendo account, but also people to become aware of Nintendo at mobile devices, and also to be more like marketing tool for Nintendo other apps/games and products. So Nintendo will release also games with their popular IPs that very likely will not be free, and Nintendo expecting from those games to make money. Also Miitomo is out only 2 weeks so profit will be definitely be increased by time, so not bad at all for app that didnt had intention to make money.

This is tiny revenue compared to others. And the app is dead now. Not in the top list anymore.

App is dead because it's not in top list anymore!? Ok, then.

Looks like someone actually understood the whole point.

Revenue? So, they still have to rest all the maintance and other expenses and all that. And considering this is just an estimate. Uh-uh.

Considering that there are almost no transactions to be found in the game, these estimate would be great if accurate. Miitomo seems to generate profit from collecting and selling marketing data. I'm sure Nintendo will go into micro transactional profit but probably remain silent on the real revenue of the app. Remember, this app is more Facebook than Candy Crush.

Well the new President said he wanted to return to Wii like profits and he seems to be well on his way, holy s**t.

$14.5 million a year..... yes certainly Wii like profits there.

 

In reality this is horrible for a popular app...most can do what Nintendo takes a week but in a single day! Heck many even make $1 million or more per day. The most popular apps generate billions per year.

That's lame.

THANKYOU!!! I was about to do this!!!

 

DAMN!!! People on VGCHARTZ needs to start thinking!!!! Where have you been guys! 

I think everyone understands what it is. I'm just saying for a company as large as nintendo that it isn't a large number. 



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

That's not really a huge amount, especially since it's revenue and not profits. However, since they point of this app was apparently to create an arena where one can expose customers to other products and news, it may well be doing its job quite well.
4 million users is good, let's see if it keeps growing at a decent rate, and, more importantly, if people keep using it. News value is not worth much in the long run.

Saw this, These are Wii U game, not Wii Games! to suggest Miitomo is help Nintendo return to the days of Wii Like profits is the joke of the week if not the year :)
