It's unlikely Niantic gets a percentage of the revenue, let alone 3X more than Nintendo. Contracted devs are usually paid a flat rate rather than a third of the total revenue.

Apple and Google get 30% based on their commissions policies. This does NOT mean that Nintendo also pays out 30% of total revenue to devs, and 30% of total revenue to the co-owner of the license. It is silly to believe that a publisher would give away more than half of their gross revenue, let alone 90%.

"Analyst". It must be true then, right?

This is what I too thought. Anyone with better knowledge of the matter able to confirm how it's going? Without better knowledge, it's probably safe to assume Niantic isn't getting a percentage.

Not bad. It will help to disguise the bad Wii U numbers in the next briefing.

LOL..  What a joke. This is extremely shoddy journalism.  No mention that Nintendo own the IP 100% and definetely would receive the lions share aside from maybe apple.

I know. A lot of people proved me wrong 😂😂😂

I thought apple was the only one who did 30 percent. I could care less though. Money is money 

i still don't get how this game is making money? people to lazy to walk around getting free pokeballs?

I'd say that's pretty justified considering it's through Apple devices.

They own a third and GF owns a third, with TPC owning the last third itself. But Nintendo also owns at least a third of GF (with TPC owning another third if my memory serves), so they're making far more than just 10% here since they're essentially the puppet master whenever they want to be. 

Wowzers Nintendo only owns 1/3 of Pokemon? Someone(Sony? MS? Tencent?) buy Da Pokemon Company asap!!
