Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Pokemon Sun/Moon FW Sales Top over 1.5mil in Europe (Biggest Ever)

Pokemon X/Y first week - 4,057,836 million copies sold worldwide.
Pokemon Sun/Moon first week (aligned) - 3,400,000 in Japan and Europe alone.
Well, I think it's a safe bet that Sun/Moon had a bigger launch that X/Y at this point.

Pokemon Go effect, be interesting to see whether the same thing happens with Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem.



Continues to print money

According to Neogaf, the game sold 3.7 in the Américas (just under two weeks).

I assume this is a press release quote:

"After becoming the most pre-ordered video games in Nintendo history, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon – the latest games in the wildly popular Pokémon franchise – have now become the fastest-selling games that Nintendo has ever launched in the Americas. In less than two weeks, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems sold a combined total of 3.7 million units. That’s an 85 percent increase over Pokémon X and Pokémon Y – the previous record holders for Nintendo’s fastest-selling games – during the same period when those games launched in 2013."

Wow. If this is in any way accurate it has already sold over 7 million in under two weeks on the market. That would be huge.

It's official Nintendo PR, so yes, 7.2 million sold through.

To add to that it might be a tad bit higher (100k?200k?400k?) if we include every other country.

 

That said this is with 2 weeks in Americas/Japan and only 1 week of Europe.

 

I wonder if shipments can exceed over 16mil by years end? Sell thru will be no less than 11mil so there is a chance

Great news that it`s the biggest ever. Although that actually seems kind of small compared to Japan (considering the population difference), but I guess that just means Pokemon`s still got a lot of potential for growth in Europe.

 Yep, Nintendo is generally weak in europe.

Except France. They're pretty good there.

France: Good, Germany: okayish, UK: Terrible.

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Not really.They have a good presence there, its just not as strong as Japan or US.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Well, I clarify: in comparison with europes population numbers the sales of NIntendo products are weaker than the sales in Japan or the US compared to the population size.
