That’s great, hopefully this trend is worldwide and we might see the highest sales for a PKMN game since gold and silver

Good start, hopefully it continues to do well. Congrats to Game Freak.

Very impressive for it to be so high on the list, with digital sales taking such a large portion of sales these days.

The game is really beautiful! Leaving the drama behind, this game totally deserves these numbers.

Top Switch Launches

1. Pokemon Sword/Shield - 191k
2. Smash Bros Ultimate - 135k
3. Pokemon Lets Go - 116k

Also, Pokemon being the 3rd best launch of the year (only behind FIFA/COD) surprised me.

Nice!

And digital will be higher than for previous titles so, solid start for sure.

Pokemon is going to sell well even without really putting all that much effort in it, it seems. I think Nintendo is very happy about this. The pop-in alone was a reason for me not to buy it. But appearently people are really happy with it here, so who am I too judge. I wonder if Nintendo is going to make pokémon an anual series now.
