To have some context, Fortnite has grossed about 32% more than Supercellβs Clash Royale launch in March 2016, and more than 200% as much as #Tencentβs smash MOBA Honor of Kings managed on Chinaβs App Store in the same amount of time post-release.
As for the fastest game to hit $300 million on #iOS, that was Nianticβs mega-hit #PokemonGO, which achieved this feat in just 113 days.

π Facebook Inc. Dominates the Social Media Landscape
When people think of #Facebook as a company, they mostly think of it synonymously with Facebook the social network. However, Facebook Inc. is much more than that, as todayβs chart nicely illustrates. With #WhatsApp, #Instagram and of course the namesake Facebook and #FacebookMessenger, the company owns four of the worldβs largest social media / messaging services.
Facebook alone is used by more than 2 billion people per month and both WhatsApp and Messenger also have surpassed the billion user mark, according to company data aggregated by DataReportal. #Tencent, the Chinese company behind #WeChat, Qzone and messenger QQ also boasts more than two billion users in total, but it still doesnβt come close to matching Facebookβs global footprint.
