If you haven’t heard of Puzzle & Dragons, there are over 700 million reasons to learn more about it.
The numbers from GungHo Entertainment’s game continue to astound, generating $763 million with a net income of $287 million. This represents an eye-popping climb of 945 percent from January to June 2013. That also means the game generated sales of $4.9 million every day throughout the second quarter.
Despite that acceleration in sales and profits, there are signs that the Puzzle & Dragons phenomenon is slowing down. Even though the game hit 17 million registered users last week, GungHo acknowledged that its July sales were “just” $138 million, about $4.5 million a day. The company is picking up its efforts with Puzzle & Dragons, looking to release it in several European countries this year. It is also planning to bring it to the 3DS, and we’ll have more on its astounding success soon.
