Great launch. Can't wait to see what next year's core Pokémon game will do.

Massive. Not many in the COMG charts thread were expecting that.

180k is monstrous! 4th biggest week for the Switch in Japan. The 3 others were launch week, and 2 in December... Wowza

The game ended with 279 points in COMG. Why didn't people expect 180k at launch? Who were those people?

 

OT: Great launch. Can't wait to see the numbers that next year's core Pokémon game will do.

I think he was referring to 664k for the game, not 180k for the Switch. Can't say I remember many predictions on the ratio/sales in the comg thread though. But I hate reading.

Pokemon 2019 should hit at least 2.2m in Japan FW.



200k first week from MC real tracker



Nice!
I actually only started playing it yesterday because we wanted to play co-op right away and I really like it. I thought I'd miss wild battles, but so far I'm enjoying the new mechanics enough to not miss anything. Positively surprised.

This will probably have great legs as this echoes a lot of the sentiments I've heard from other people. It will have positive word of mouth.



thats awesome!! loving this game so far

Yeah, I misread sorry.

I still wonder what users kopstudent was talking about as well as how many units those users expected.

Wow Pokemon Let's Go actually only did 200k first week????? Crazy! (I know you mean Switch sales)

Slightly less sales for Pokemon (661k) but decently higher hardware (200k) from MC.

Adding the UK numbers to this that means so far we know PLG has moved 780,198 copies.

We can expect at least 2 millions WW for launch week then

Nah, comparing it to the 3ds pokemon games:

Game Global FW UK+Japan FW UK+Japan Percentage
X/Y 4.19m 2.09m 49.88%
OR/AS 3.42m 1.63m 47.66%
S/M 5.19m 2.15m 41.42%
US/UM 2.14m 1.25m 58.41%

Should probably expect UK+Japan to make up about 45% of total sales. Shouldn't reach 2m at retail. Around 1.8m would be my bet.
