Is that good? Bad? What did previous Pokemon games do?

No matter what selling that much opening week in Japan is good.  for reference it's lower then the x/y launch.  

The difference in launches could be explained by a increase in digital sales.  Each year the ratio of digital to physical seems to favor digital more and more.

Fantastic launch.

You'd have to imagine with the growth of digital, it's approaching (or over) the 2 Million mark.



                            

People expected 2.5M first week from this game... ^^

People were saying this would sell more than GTA V at launch and it's entire lifetime sales. That's ridiculous

Stop lying, can you quote that person?



Nice numbers.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Around the Network

Pokemon was already incredibly popular in Japan regardless of Pokemon Go which is why we didn't see any growth compared to previous games. However, I think that most of the growth in sales for Sun/Moon will come from western markets where Pokemon was declining and now saw a revival with Pokemon Go.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

Not gonna lie, I was hoping it'd be closer to 3 million, but this is still really good of course and well deserved I'd say.
