Mobile games. We know these can make big money. You might be curious about how much? Take Nintendo's highest earning mobile game, Fire Emblem Heroes, for example: it has already accumulated a whopping $959 million in revenue to date, five years after its initial launch on iOS and Android back in February 2017 - according to Sensor Tower (thanks gamesindustry.biz).

As a comparison, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp sits at the second spot by getting $267 million in revenue, followed by Mario Kart Tour which has made $259 million. You can easily tell that Fire Emblem Heroes earns much more than other mobile titles.

Now, let's look at the figures in another point of view: who, or rather say which country, spent the most on Fire Emblem Heroes? It turns out, Japan topped the chart by spending $523 million, while the US players amassed "only" $308 million on the game.
