Pokémon Go currently has more installs than Tinder and is trending to surpass Twitter's daily active users. Reports also state that users are playing an average of 43 minutes per game. This increased Nintendo's stock market value by 7.5 billion dollars in just 2 days. What's really interesting is that Pokemon Go hasn't even been released globally yet.
