    Nope! Sources disagree, but let’s run with the assumption that the amount of Pokémon GO players, at peak popularity, has actually exceeded the ~40 million player threshold of daily active Twitter users (a claim of disputable accuracy, to say in the least). Even then, its base is topped by the sales of games like the original Super Mario Bros. (estimated at ~55.75 million copies sold) or Wii Sports (~82.78 million), and completely dwarfed by indie hit turned mainstream staple Minecraft (~106.86 million) and the ever-illustrious Tetris (~495 million

    Well I doubt it, but I would also not be too surprised to learn that it was somewhat up there in the rankings. There is also a lot of ways to rate them too, and game play wise I can think of some better ones out there.

    Even though I'm a big fan of the entire Pokémon franchise, I have to say that the game can't be considered as the most popular ever.

    Pokémon GO had its high point at the time of release and is still popular, but there are games that are more popular than it.

    What I like about this game is the Augmented Reality experience. It’s probably the most impressive feature that people are getting to Pokemon GO even though its gameplay is not that good.

    Well, it's the best in it's category, but being best overall? No, I don't think so.

    I don't think it is that popular because I don't hear people talking about it. I am not sure if they really enjoy playing the game compared to the other games.

    Great response. I concur with most of this. Pokemon Go is certainly a great game and a giant in its category. However, the best game title is an ambitious one that most great games (greater than Pokemon Go) don't even have a chance of contending for. When I think of the best games ever, this is what comes off the top of my head:
    1. Tekken: This is a martial arts game that is a giant in its category. There are so many great fighters such as Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Heihatsu Mishima, King, Akuma and Sheeva.
    2. Mortal Kombat: This is another martial arts game that gives Tekken a run for its money. It takes violence to another level with strong brutish fighters like Jax Briggs, Bob, Raiden and Kung Lao.
    3. FIFA: This game is a or rather the giant in the soccer category. It is the best soccer game out there no matter what anyone else thinks.
