Forums - Nintendo - ​Newzoo Estimates Less Than Five Percent of Users Have Paid For Super Mario Run

Yea the asking price was too high for the amount of levels they offered. Would have been a homerun if it was $5 or less

Only 147m Paid versions needed to sell before this prediction thread turns out to be true.

I'm not sure how much legs the game would need to achieve this.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

3 million is still really good and it hasn't come to Android yet.

3% conversion in mobile world is somewhat above average, IIRC average is around 1-2%.

The difference is that with most games the 1-2% who actually pay are going to wind up spending a lot more than 10 dollars on average.

This already was proven to be false by Apple itself.According to the article, the game has sold more than the alledged 3% addoptance rate(though no especifics were given).

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I am one of those 3 million or so. And I know a few people who bought the game as well. Still a good game though, and it is true, $10 is cheaper than what I spent on my other mobile games. :)

Not too surprising, Android release will definitely boost overall numbers, but the percentages probably would still be similiar

Is 30 million a lot from a smartphone game?

Seems about right.  I read an article awhile ago that f2p games have less than that who actually go on to pay(about 2% iirc).

Considering their mobiles efforts are pretty much promotional games for their hardware and ecosystem, rather than whalehunters, it makes sense.  They could make a whalehunter though and fatten the game up by using radom/procedurally generated levels, that would torpedo the design of each level and compromise gameplay, but the mobile crowd and a lot of the gamers complaining would likely eat that up.  

They can then ration out free lives, have pay for characters(they could endlessly pump them out really) and costumes. They'd probably need to rachet up the difficulty as well to make those free lives worth getting, or rather pay for.
