Free-to-play title Puzzle & Dragons estimated to have generated around $65 million during January

Japanese developer and publisher GungHo Online Entertainment is estimated to be earning around $2 million a day from just one free-to-play mobile game.
As reported by Japanese industry consultantSerkan Toto (http://www.serkantoto.com/2013/02/19/puzzle-dragons-monthly-sales-gungho/), puzzle and RPG hybrid title Puzzle & Dragons is thought to have generated around $65 million in sales on iOS and Android in Japan last month.

Players are tasked with collecting monsters, exploring dungeons and battling enemies by sliding and connecting three orbs across the screen.
The title has been out since last February on iOS and last September on Android in Japan, the title was also released in the US and Europe in November.
It is believed most of the game's success is derived from the Japanese market, having dominated the charts in Japan on both the App Store and Google Play.
