Nintendo has confirmed today that the immensely fun Super Mario Run has been downloaded an incredible 78 million times on iOS devices since it launched. However, only 5 percent of consumers that downloaded the game have coughed up for the full version of the 2D platformer. Super Mario Run will be given a new lease of life as it is coming to Android in March.

Well.. roughly 4 million isn’t bad at all. I do still find it funny that people will complain about the $10 cost to unlock, but have no problem spending more than than on microtransactions in other games on their phone.

That’s actually quite okay. Around 4 millions sales is still decent amount of money. And with the android release coming up I think those numbers are going to be higher.

So that’s what, ~$40 million earned? I wonder what the budget and development time were, that makes all the difference.

That’s why cellphone games don’t sell unless you have one gem! I’m sorry but those Nintendo execs need to understand they will not get the same money from a console game on mobiles. =/

That’s not even weak, that’s pathetic. At least we know they won’t try that again.

If I am an android fan and like mobile gaming. I wouldn’t pay for it
As I would feel like a 2nd class customer. That reminds me how come super Mario run didn’t perform as well as the analysts predicted not
From memory it should have hit 600M by now
