Not only the Japanese, it seems. The UK, the USA, it's all set for one of the biggest FW in video game history on a single console.

Yeah, I just checked the sales data and you're right, it seems pretty spread out. I was wrong there as I don't really keep track of that franchise. But I don't think it should be compared to home console sales. Handheld games traditionally sell far better and bigger volume than home console games.

I think Pokemon Go was probably used as an advertisment more than an actual, stand alone game. I bet Mario Run is the same thing. Nintendo's figured out a way to use these apps to sell games.

Bolded - Oh I don't know about that. The best selling game on PS4 sold more than the best selling game on 3DS. And with the Switch narrowing the line between handheld and home console, I don't think this will ever be true again. Pokemon is just a hell of a powerhouse, I would say Pokemon games traditionally sell far better and bigger volume than other games. haha
