Pokémon Sleep is a mobile game that analyzes sleep and helps improve its quality. A week before its first anniversary, the project surpassed 100 million dollars in revenue, reports PocketGamer, citing the analytics service AppMagic.

Most of Pokémon Sleep's earnings came from Japan (73 million dollars), the United States (15 million dollars), and Taiwan (4 million dollars).
According to AppMagic, the game downloads surpassed 9.8 million. The main markets for downloads mirrored those for revenue: Japan (44%), the United States (17%), and Taiwan (7%). This is lower than the official data. Recall that at the end of June, The Pokémon Company announced that Pokémon Sleep had been downloaded 20 million times worldwide.
Note: We verified PocketGamer's data with AppMagic, and the revenue figures did not match. According to the chart on the AppMagic website, as of today, Pokémon Sleep has earned 70.5 million dollars—this is the income from IAP after store commissions and taxes. It is possible that PocketGamer indicated the revenue before all deductions.
