I read that Candy Crush makes about $500k per day.
Sounds like a lot, but that's 'just' $182.5m per year. Seeing that it's unlikely an app like that stays very popular for significantly more than a year, it is indeed nothing compared to these three huge franchises.
OT that also convinces me that the microtransactions for Call of Duty are relatively tiny compared to the total revenue of the game. It's definitely not the deciding factor. GTA should win at least this year because of the sheer amount of copies sold. I could agree that Pokémon as a franchise would beat CoD and GTAV because of licencing of merchandise and the tv-show (especially considering Kasz216's source), but purely speaking of the games it's most likely GTAV>CoD>Pokémon. In revenue at least, profit could be more favorable with Pokémon, but I don't know.
