, also helped!

While Korea celebrates 3 million download with their event, let’s look at random things of PAD!

The download numbers

These numbers do not reflect on actual active players. While JP and HK/TW technically share the same servers, they’re considered as separate servers when it comes to select events and number of downloads. Numbers from official announcement here.

Region Total Downloads in the region
Japan 53 million
North America 13 million
Hong Kong/Taiwan 3 million
Korea 3 million

Misc. #1: Release dates of PAD servers

Seeing KR’s celebration and since it’s 8th anniversary for Japan server, I randomly started looking up all release dates of PAD servers and put them in a table. How many servers are you aware of, or follow news of?

RIP EU and China servers.

Misc. #2 – An infographic

On a sort of related note, here’s the top 50 highest-grossing video game franchises. Source: TitleMax

Of course this doesn’t factor in everything (whether there’s micro-transaction in the games, number of games, etc.), but it’s interesting to put some perspective. As with many things online, take it with a grain of salt.

  1. this was very intresting. Does anybody find it sort of crazy JP had amazon kindle fire PAD way before NA?

  2. hey… what the heck happend to china lol I didnt no there was a chinese sever? when did it get taken down???

    1. I do not know how long it lasted, but it was quite different from any other version of PAD from the little I saw. It had quite a few unique cards as well. It probably was not used much compared to Chinese players being on the JP version.
