With the phenomenal success of Pokemon GO, Nintendo has grown to $ 40 billion in market cap, surpassing Sony's cap. This is reported by Mashable with reference to stock data. In just two weeks since the release of the game, Nintendo has "risen in price" by $ 23 billion. By comparison, Sony's total value at the time of this writing is $ 38 billion. Recall that "Pokemon GO" is a game with elements of augmented reality, in which users are invited to search and catch Pokemon in the surrounding reality. With the release of the game, some of its fans have become participants in funny and sometimes dramatic events. The popularity of "Pokemon GO" was used not only by commercial structures, but also by state ones. So, in the American Manchester, the police department announced the discovery of a rare Pokemon in pre-trial detention cells and suggested that all persons on the list of wanted criminals try to catch it there. The attackers themselves use roughly the same schemes to lure users who are keen on the game into their traps. At the time of this writing, the game has not yet started in USA.
