Looks like that marketing campaign for the mobile app, Game Of War worked. 

The game now makes approximately $1 million/day. In Feburary it even eclipsed Clash of Clans for no.1 revenue. 

The marketing campaign which included a Superbowl TV spot was very expensive, costing $80 million, but it looks like it's paid off in spades. 

From the LA Times:

More than 9,000 times since November, commercials featuring the swimsuit model have aired nationally on male-oriented programs: March Madness, NFL football, "South Park" and the like.

The ads entice boys and men to download the free-to-play smartphone game "Game of War: Fire Age." There are several versions: Upton relaxes in a candlelit bathtub. She rides a horse and leads medieval troops to battle dragons. She approaches the camera and slyly invites the viewer to "come play with me."

The boys and men have done so, beyond the wildest dreams of Machine Zone, the game developer behind "Game of War." Sales of in-app digital goods and paid "boosts" to speed up empire-building have doubled since the ads began, according to data from Think Gaming; the game now takes in about $1 million a day.

I'd like to be pushed with Kate Upton's breasts.
In all seriousness; 1 million a day? Holy shit!

Never heard of this Kate Upton, thank you.

For comparison's sake, does anyone know how much Candy Crush did per day?

At its peak I think Candy Crush also does about $1 million a day though I think combines Candy Crush Soda or whatever. 

Nintendo really very well could make $1-1.5 million/day the way I see it. Not from one game but from 5-6 different IP? Sure. 

I didn't even recognize you! Sick avi man

Interesting. It's funny, even without ads I gave Candy Crush a shot and was even addicted for a bit of time (won't touch it now). On the flip side, I've seen so many ads for Game of War and not once have I even contemplated downloading the game. I've heard it's quite bad, also.

I imagine Nintendo will have much success with mobile. Aside from the fact that they'll actually be producing quality software, their IPs are just iconic enough to sell themselves. Especially on a platform filled with practically every demographic imaginable. 

I've heard that quite a bit today! Thanks! :D

I'm sure some people simply put down their pants.

The gaf thread and the source article says it was Kate Upton's curves.

Guess we now know where OP's attention was.
