In line with the recent report around how Apple is set to make billions with Pokémon Go, the Cupertino company has now confirmed the game is already a huge success. According to Apple (via Polygon), the augmented reality game had a record-breaking first week on the App Store. The game has been downloaded more than any other game ever on the store in the first week of its release. However, there are no numbers released accompanying the claim. “Whereas Angry Birds 2 and Candy Crush Jelly Saga brought in 2.2 million and 1.8 million downloads respectively during their first week on the App store, Pokémon Go had a whopping 7.2 million downloads, according to the Sensor Tower data,” a Fortune report claims. Niantic recently introduced thegame in Japan. Pokémon Go was already expected to be a huge hit in Japan, the country of the character’s birth. Fans had been eagerly awaiting its release since it first came out more than two weeks ago in Australia, New Zealand and the United States, and then became a blockbuster hit in more than 20 countries.
