oh is almost on par with breath of the wild on opening week that really puts it in perspective

I see the red Pac man is back in full-force XD. Man Japan loves them some Pokemon, even when the game is fairly average heh. Well that's not really fair to say as I have to put quite a bit more time into it still..

... Not for a pokemon game. Predictions were made that this would be the best selling pokemon game since red/blue.

So 6m shipped, for comparison Pokemon Sun and Moon shipped 10m day one. Will have better legs though, I expect 15m still.

Edit: NVM seems that it is infact sold-through.

This isn't shipped. It's sold
Admit it Barkley, you are wrong.

You're right, at least according to Zhuugex it's sold-through so it seems it's not shipped.

Pokemon X & Y - 4m
Pokemon Sword & Shield - 6m
Pokemon Sun and Moon - 7.2m

It seems it's done very well.

It's not shipped but sold. there is a big difference.

And as for the number you give abour Sun and Moon, i'm not sure it's correct:

It's hard to know how much Sun and Moon did in its first week due to the later release of the game in Europe.

In NA the game sold 3.7m in under two weeks.
In JP the game sold 2m in its first week.
In EU the game sold 1.5m in its first week.

So 7.2m in total, but not aligned

And according to ZhugeEX X/Y sold 4m WW week one.

EDIT: you beat me in correcting you lol

Minecraft switch with digital surpassed 1.4 million in Japan.

It only needs 50K more to surpass the best selling Vita game:  Minecraft the Vita version

And you think that would happen in 3 days? Sw/Sh sold 2m through to consumer in Japan and 6m ww in those 3 days.
