Worldwide
Just yesterday we reportedthatPokemon Legendshad pushed 1.4 million copies in Japan alone, not accounting for digital. Well, the newPokemon Legendssales mark is 6.5 million worldwide,Nintendo has announced, right after Japan pushed 1.4 million in physical copies. Here’s the full statement:
“Thank you to the more than 6.5 million explorers worldwide who have already embarked on an exciting new adventure in #PokemonLegendsArceus! We hope you’re loading up on more potato mochi before your next research mission!”
Although they aren’t providing the full picture, we can piece together different regional sales to figure out how it all shook out across the world, once more figures come to light.
So once again I am asking Nintendo and Game Freak: can we do away with the dual releases? I mean, odds are development for the nextPokemongame is well underway, and it’ll likely feature some dual gimmick. At least the names are cool! But with online play, the “trading” element has become a thing of the past.Pokemon Legendsworks perfectly fine without it.
Here’s howPokemon Legendssales fare compared to recent games:
It’s on the way!
