Mario Kart and Pokemon never fail to bring good sales
wow pokemon sold 13.3m in one year!this is unbelievable guys,super fast selling game!imagine that it threats pokemon black and white...ds games :oi feel it will pass diamond and pearl... 20m locked?oh it has 34.6% attach attach rate,oh my gosh!
Pokemon in reality just 900k below Black/White. Will overtake it sooner rather than later. VCG claims just 11.7m, which is probably undertracked. Digital sales comfortably over a million? Sounds like a lot.
Mmaaan, I wanted to get some updated numbers for ALBW...
They only tell about the games that sold more than a million units in a quarter... I just checked Nintendo's IR sales page, but it hasn't been updated. We'll probably have to wait until March, and even then, maybe they'll remove the smaller games and we'll never know :-( .
