Looks like Pokemon Sword/Shield sold over 2 million copies in first two days in US, and the game is the highest-grossing Pokemon launch.

Aren't they doing that Town project?

Amazing and well deserved, If Lets Go can do around 12m? This can definitely reach north of 15.

I imagine that it is the full week (instead of three days) + digital.

We don’t even have a full week of data, it is definitely 3 days

Shit, I meant a few more days and then some.

Ah disregard my previous statements @Jranation

So Nintendo just clarified:https://t.co/S1QtELPMyc

1. The 6 million are sell-through (not just shipped/sold to retailers - but sold through to end users).

2. Number refers to the launch weekend only, not the initial week.

Absolutely bonkers, even by Pokemon standards. https://t.co/n3hzDfxslt

Maybe 15+? Every Pokemon gen has sold over 15m

I was thinking the same thing when I read that, based on this opening it’s not going to have any issues getting to 15...
