Pokémon Sun and Moon sell 3.7 million in the US, up 85% on Pokemon X and Y
Pokémon Sun and Moon are smashing the records everywhere they’ve been released. Nintendo of America has now confirmed that the game has now sold 3.7 million copies in that region, that’s an increase of 85% on Pokemon X and Y.
Pokemon X and Y previously held the record for Nintendo’s fastest games, now Pokemon Sun and Moon have that honour. That’s Nintendo’s games from all time, even better than during the DS and Wii period.
“With these huge sales figures, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon have proved themselves as two of the hottest video games to buy this holiday season,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With great reviews and outstanding fan response, these next iterations in the Pokémon series are sure to please any player in the family.”
Sun and Moon were also Nintendo’s most pre-ordered video games in Nintendo history. Not a bad result then?
