How many points did Pokemon reach on Comg on DS and 3DS? Because this looks more like something Pokemon pulled of 10 years ago than in today's day and age.

I agree. The Switch HW numbers is close to DS HW numbers and surpassed 3DS HW numbers, so I think sales should be similar.
Pokémon Black/White had a physical launch of over 2.6mil.
On Comg Pokémon Black ended up at 1821 points and Pokémon White at 1584 points, combined 3405 points.
It was an order of magnitude bigger.
I think Comg may have been bigger back then with several games having over 100 preorders at the same time back then.
With digital S/V should easily have a bigger launch than B/W despite a most definitely smaller retail launch.

Oh, it feels weird to return here after so many years, is Nintendo still doomed?
