Miitomo earned 1.6 million downloads in its first 4 days in the U.S.
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 10 Comments
GamesBeat is reporting, via data from industry-tracking firm Sensor Tower, that Miitomo was downloaded 1.6 million times in the United States between March 31 and April 3. This figure accounts for both iOS and Android. However, it doesn’t include downloads when Miitomo was at the top of both platform’s charts through much of the past week.
Miitomo has started to dip a bit, but this was to be expected. Sensor Tower has Miitomo at the tenth spot on iOS, for example.
51 percent of Miitomo’s installs came from the United States, which is quite a large gap over other territories. While Great Britan, France, Germany, and Canada were the other top regions, they all represented less than 10 percent of total downloads each.

More insight into Miitomo’s strong start thus far
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 5 Comments
Additional information is in regarding Miitomo’s performance up to this point.
In countries like the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany, it’s done very well thus far. The app has seen most of its success on iOS, as it remains the top free app in iPhone in both the US and UK. It’s within the top five in Germany as well.
App Annie notes that Miitomo is among the leading 100 top grossing apps in the US. At the moment, it sits at the 87th spot. This indicates that a decent amount of users are forking over real cash for in-game coins.
Finally, Similar Web points out Miitomo’s high levels of engagement per user. Those who have downloaded the app in Japan have shown that they’re keeping it and are using it regularly.
Similar Web shares the following analysis:
Japanese app users have taken to the app almost immediately, and as of April 2nd, 3% of all Japanese Android devices had Miitomo installed on them. Since its release, these users have been spending an average of over 22 minutes a day on the app, and have made it the 13th most popular social app in Japan. Furthermore, our recent Uninstalls Report showed that many apps lose their users within the first 3 to 7 days, which does not seem to be the case with Miitomo, as the app is showing an above average retention rate early on.

Miitomo is the most-downloaded iOS game in the U.S. in its first day
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 46 Comments
Based on a report from market-tracking firm Sensor Tower (as relayed by GamesBeat), Miitomo is currently the most-downloaded game for iPhone and iPad in the United States. Even though it’s a free download, it’s an impressive feat for a title that only just launched today.
With its initial success, Sensor Tower believes that Miitomo could surpass 200,000 downloads on the iPhone alone after 24 hours given averages for past apps that have topped the charts. Another 20,000 downloads would likely stem from the iPad. Of course, this doesn’t account for how Miitomo has done on Android.
