Japan: Miitomo was the most-downloaded social-networking app on iOS devices during launch day

While Miitomo is in its very early days, the app is doing quite well in Japan thus far. Data collected by market researcher App Annie indicates that Nintendo’s new release took the top spot as the country’s most-downloaded social-networking app on iOS devices yesterday.

LINE is Japan’s most-popular instant messenger, but fell to second place in light of Miitomo’s arrival.

Nintendo spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa said in a statement:

“We had a good start and have received very positive feedback. Miitomo will continue to evolve.”
