<p>Nintendo’s mobile business hasn’t exactly been an overnight success, but it appears to be slowly catching on. Its most recent release <strong><a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/mobile/animal_crossing_pocket_camp">Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp</a></strong> has hit a revenue milestone. Sensor Tower describes it as a “major” accomplishment, with the app based on the popular lifestyle simulation series now reaching $50 million in player spending globally. Back in June, it grossed $35 million worldwide following its release last November. </p>
<p>The Sensor Tower chart below shows how this game has performed against previous releases in Nintendo’s mobile line. It’s taken Pocket Camp an additional two months to reach the $50 million mark compared to <a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/mobile/super_mario_run"><strong>Super Mario Run</strong></a>. <a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/mobile/fire_emblem_heroes"><strong>Fire Emblem Heroes</strong></a> achieved this in 20 days and has now grossed more than $400 million since its release in the first quarter of 2017.</p>
