From everything I can tell so far it's HUGE.
The kids are already reporting how many other kids were in the mall hunting for Pokemon' and how many other kids they met doing it.
And it's an AUGMENTED REALITY hit..... great for us in AR -- and great for PicoP if they're looking to hunt in the evening or at night.
Don't believe it? ask your kids.
This guy is kind of a Pokemon Nerd, and likes the old game, but loves the AR aspects of it.
'Pokémon GO' Is A Terrible Pokémon Game, But An Augmented Reality Home Run
Tech companies, futurists, and hardcore gamers talk a big game when it comes to virtual reality and augmented reality, but there have been few signs of real success in either space, thanks to insanely high price points, and isolating, non-social experiences. But, in a matter of three days, Pokémon Go has completely obliterated those barriers, and is poised to be slingshot augmented reality past virtual reality, the technology of the future since the early ‘60s.
The cultural and economic impact of the game is already shining through since its Wednesday evening launch. Data from the app marketing tracker Sensor Tower, shows the app made it to No. 1 on the app store in less than five hours, and is already grossing more money from in-app purchases than long established rival games such as Game of War, Clash Royale, and Clash of Clans.
Anyone who has been on social media in the past few days probably didn’t even need those stats to validate its popularity. Friends and family all over the country are sharing photos of the Pokémon they find in their office, in police stations, and in the White House.
