Konami’s Social Baseball Game Has 1 Million Users On GREE [Social Games]

K

Following the launch in March this year, Konami’s “Professional Baseball Dream Nine” social baseball game for GREE has passed the 1 million user mark on June 7. For a few weeks in March and April, Konami boasted the No. 1 (with Dragon Collection) and No. 2 spots on GREE’s popularity ranking – it looks like this console game maker knows how to create successful social games, too.

Professional Baseball Dream Nine is a card game and the first one carrying a license from the Nippon Professional Baseball League. It’s exclusively available on GREE for Japanese feature phones.
