Pokémon Go is a great business. Nintendo made a hit with the release of this free game on iOS and Android. Users have gone crazy. Only in Apple operating system, it is generating 1.6 million dollars a day.
As published on Quartz, Pokémon Go is still the best bet of Nintendo. Despite being a free game, it is possible to make purchases within the application.
