Better than I expected. I wonder how digital compares to sun/moon and X/Y.

UK is not more than 5% of the Switch market. So it could be a 3M worldwide on first week, Japan is way more addicted to Pokemon than UK certainly.

Impressive for Let's Go. In comparison to Sun & Moon, Let's Go has a mixed label of being a spin-off and a mainline remake of Pokemon Yellow, along with being on the Switch, which likely had a lower install base in the UK compared to Sun & Moon by the time it released on 3DS. Plus, Sun & Moon had the Pokemon Go phenomenon at the peak of its powers and the 20th anniversary celebration, which helped a lot in marketing. For Let's Go, it will probably challenge (if not surpass) Sun & Moon for highest revenue for the franchise for the last two generations, with the fact the games are $60 or $100 if you add the Poke Ball plus (and the Poke Ball plus would probably sell well on its own, as well). Overall, its great for Let's Go.

Nice!

Mighty impressive, this the lowest HW install base a Pokemon game has ever launched on a Nintendo system and at the highest price too. Not to mention it's not a new generation game. Gen 8 has a bright future, seems Pokemon ain't going anywhere.

Ah... I glossed through the list and didnt play close attention. It didnt actually do that bad. But considering this is a gen 1 remake... I expected somewhat better. Being below gen 3 remakes is somewhat surprising.

This game cost 60 $? Nice joke Nintendo, disgusting but nice.

Considering the hype around switch and Pokémon atm I'd say that was an alright opening. Not amazing but not bad either.

Sounds like a solid start, and bodes well for the next main installment.

Ya but this doesnt include digital which is significantly more prevalent on Switch compared to 3DS, it's probably really close when factoring that in.
