Pokemon Go has long been considered the reigning champion of mobile gaming. But that perception isn't necessarily accurate in Japan. A report from Bloomberg reveals the 2015 online RPG hit Fate/Grand Order is topping Japanese mobile gaming revenue charts and making more money than Pokemon Go.
As Bloomberg reveals, Fate/Grand Order has been downloaded by Japanese mobile players over 7 million times. It's also outsold Pokémon Go 104 out of 133 days on Android, along with over 50 on iOS. Bloomberg notes that the game has "helped to lift Sony Music's operating profit by 23 percent to 16.5 billion yen," causing Sony to plan to "expand its mobile games effort with more titles in more markets in the coming months."
