Last month, we reflected on the increasing influence of console and PC IP (https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-11-14-call-of-duty-and-mario-kart-front-a-siege-of-console-and-pc-ip-on-mobile) on mobile, headlined in October by the launches of Mario Kart Tour and Call of Duty: Mobile. In November, there was no place in the worldwide top ten grossers for those big releases.
Sensor Tower Store Intelligence (https://sensortower.com/solutions/store-intelligence) data shows Activision's Call of Duty: Mobile falling to 24 from 12 month-on-month, though it still brought in an impressive $31.8 million in gross revenue. Nintendo's Mario Kart Tour dropped to 57 from 27, generating $16.4 million. There was still room in the top 30, however, for eight franchises that started life on PC and console -- down just two from October.
New to the overall top ten in November was Sony's hit mobile RPG Fate/Grand Order, which generated $54.3 million, a 10% month-on-month increase. NetEase's Fantasy Westward Journey picked up $53.3 million, despite a fall of 11% from October.
