Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire sell over 1.5 million copies in Japan

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire have sold 1.535 million copies in Japan, according to a report from Famitsu. That’s an impressive stat based on just three days of sales – November 21 to November 23.

Note that sales of the Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Double Pack are included in Famitsu’s number. Download sales, however, are not.

Famitsu also reports that 3DS sales came in at 83,129 units last week, up from 51,390 units the previous week.

It's interesting because it opened higher than the original Ruby/Sapphire, which opened at 1,245,003. Though, it'll likely have terrible legs like X/Y had, with respect to the Pokemon series.



"Note that sales of the Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Double Pack are included in Famitsu’s number."

They mean that each sale of the Double Pack counts as "1" sale of the game, and not as a sale for each, right? Pretty sure that's how it's usually done.



Was there any doubt that it would sell well? I imagine it didn't cost a huge amount of money to make either
