Nintendo will become obsolete

Nintendo revenue last fiscal year (ended March 31st, 216) = ~$4.9 billion USD.

Pokemon Go daily revenue estimate = $1.6 million.

x 365 days = $584 million (if usage never drops). Nintendo will get ~10% (directly) + ~9% (Pokemon Company) = 19% of $584 million = ~$111 million.

~$4.9 billion > ~$111 million.


In other words, it would take 44 mobile hits equivalent to Pokemon Go every single year to replace their current business model.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but the 1.6 million figure is iOS, US only. Worldwide, adding google play, 5 million would probably be the more accurate figure.
