The numbers are correct. These numbers have been reported by GungHo (the company that has made Puzzles&Dragons). They have to report their revenue numbers as they are traded in the Osaka Stock Exchange. [1] Also these are April numbers, recent revenue estimates will be even higher as the game is now climbing up the top grossing charts (iTunes) in US too.

+1 for "The numbers are correct."

See, among numerous other places: http://www.gungho.co.jp/ir/uploads/irk20130509_2.pdf

If you don't understand what an audited financial statement written in Japanese says, that's cool, you can default to "Trust Patrick that Puzzle Dragons is a cultural phenomenon right now and that it is one of the first Japanese companies which has truly absorbed the spirit of Zynga with respect to monetization."

I can't read Japanese, so I will trust you Patrick.

Soo...given that the numbers are real...that's crazy.
