Thank you for correcting me, I was going off of what I personally have seen.  I will keep this data in mind.

However if you take 16.8% of Pokemon physical sales and add it to retail numbers, you get 2.18 mil with that alone.  Now this is by no means an exact number, but a guesstimate based on the facts you provided.

Add in the current unlnowns from Amazon and Nintendo stores, and my point still stands.

1.36m + 16.8% is 1.59m not 2.18m.

If 16.8% IS the number:

Physical Sales - 1.36m
Digital Sales -  0.27m

Total Sales - 1.63m

Damn, decimal was in the wrong spot for my calculation lmao.  That's what I get for trying to post and work at the same time.  🤣

In that case I think Sun/Moon levels are realistic enough when other unknowns are revealed, but not much higher than that.  It will be interesting to see how the legs are for these games.
