That was quick: about three weeks after reaching 2 million downloads, Japan’s most successful platform-free social game Puzzle & Dragons crossed the 3 million mark.
Puzzle & Dragons was released in the Japanese App Store in February this year and on Android in late September.

There can be no doubt that the TV commercials GungHo started airing in mid-October contributed to the growth.
Here is the first one again:
Here is the new (second) one that advertises Puzzle & Dragons on Japanese TV since the end of October:
