Not bad, though 2nd version pokemon games mostly sell between 2 to 3 mil, so Ultra Sun and Moon have some work to do sales wise. These games will likely have legs though to reach those numbers.

It's the 2nd best selling "third" version launch aligned in Japan, only being beat by Pokemon Yellow(which sold about as well as normal Pokemon games now do). It's only third if you count Black and White 2 as a "third" version and not as their own games. 

I was counting Platinum and Emerald as well, but yeah, there weren't as many '3rds' as I thought, haha.
