    So if Nintendo at 10% take sees a 7 billion boost in market cap, one would expect even more robust gains for Apple at 30%take ? Right?
    The rise in Nintendo's market cap is due to the rise in share price, not revenue.
    I believe he knows that, and is making a commentary on the investors. basically that Wall Street is always stupid on Apple.

    ...protracted rants to bash anything non-apple but blatant lies ...
    If you want to be taken seriously you can't be a garbage pail troll 
    No no, it was definitely a blatant lie. You quoted an article that says one thing and lied about what it said to support your narrative.

    Apple's stock didn't go through the roof. Nintendo's did.

    Nintendo is also a primary stockholder in Pokemon. They are doing just fine.

    And it’s only the original set. When they release the (paid DLC, I guarantee you) the other 800 of them...

    I’m bothered by Niantic, its business practices, and its connections. But I do want to give the thing a shot. I just refuse to use a Google account for anything, so I’m still waiting for Nintendo to get their shit together and fix their servers so I can make an account.

    Also, I’d love to spoof my location. I really don’t like how that monitoring is handled.

    If it weren't in the App Store they'd get 0, how much does 0 / 3 makes?
    Yep. 100% of zero is diddly-squat, and 30% of something is larger.
    Nintendo must be frantically wiping the drool off their faces in anticipation of the piles of money they are "leaving on the table" trying to shore up their past-their-prime console sales by not doing the obvious.thing. It may well be that this Pokemon release was a test run, a dip-the-toes-in-the water moment.
    Surpassing Whatsapp usage in a matter of days is impressive by any standards if not staggeringly so. Nintendo should do the obvious and enter the orchard - container-loads of low hanging fruit await, and resistance is futile.
