DeNA’s new mobile game Pok\u00e9mon Masters<\/a><\/strong> seems to have already proven itself as the next big money-maker for The Pok\u00e9mon Company. In its first seven days, it banked $26 million according to market analyst Sensor Tower. And this doesn’t even include China!<\/p>\n

In its release week, the game made more from in-game player spending than multiple other Pok\u00e9mon games on mobile. It absolutely smashed Pok\u00e9mon Quest<\/a><\/strong>, Magikarp Jump<\/a><\/strong>, and Pok\u00e9mon Rumble Rush<\/a><\/strong>, as can be seen in the chart below:<\/p>\n

Even compared to the first week of Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/a><\/strong> ($56 million), it’s done quite well and is still significantly ahead of the other games on the chart. In terms of player spending habits in Pok\u00e9mon Masters, Japan contributed to 62 percent of the total \u2013 which is estimated to be $16 million.<\/p>\n

This success follows on from early reports of five million preregistrations<\/a> and the title quickly becoming the top iPhone download<\/a> in more than 27 countries. It’s certainly been an incredible start for DeNA’s new game.<\/p>\n
