I'd love to see where you get your numbers from considering Niantic doesn't publish active player stats for Ingress.

- jolux 10y agowell it's purely anecdotal I'll say but everyone I know is playing Pokémon Go right now and before only my really really "nerdy" friends played Ingress.
- jolux 10y agoif Ingress were anywhere near as popular their servers would have been down constantly and we would have heard about it being so popular...
- distantsounds 10y agoI take it you've never played Ingress before? Because they've had outages before, particularly during some of the larger events. Just because something doesn't get widespread news doesn't mean it's unpopular. Sure, Go is massively popular in its own right and to scale beats out Ingress but it's not like Ingress was some 2-bit game that nobody played. Half the mechanics of Go came from there, if Ingress sucked and was a failure they a) wouldn't have put the same features in Go, and b) probably wouldn't have even made Go. tl;dr Please stop shitting on something you have zero experience with.
- jolux 10y agoLook I'm not shitting on it. It's not orthogonal that you both saw large numbers of people playing it and that it wasn't as popular as Pokémon Go. I'm not saying it's a technological failure, I'm saying it didn't capture as many people's attention in the same way that Go did.
