2019 Predictions: Pokemon Go Will Get a Magical Rival
Niantic's dominance of the location-based game (LBG) sub-genre is the central subject of this January 2019 prediction piece from Deconstructor of Fun, the last in its Casual games series.
- Pokemon Go remains the dominant leader in the location-based game (LBG) genre, maintaining a top-10 grossing performance years after its initial launch.
- The LBG market experienced significant growth in 2018 following Google's decision to open its Maps API to developers, enabling titles like Jurassic World Alive, The Walking Dead: Our World, and Ghostbusters World.
- Pokemon Go’s success is driven by its global brand reach, with a balanced revenue distribution where 30% comes from the US, 30% from Japan, and 40% from the rest of the world, unlike competitors that rely on the US for roughly 50% of their revenue.
