Pokemon Sword and Shield Crossed 2.7 Million Digital Sales In First Month

It isn’t to anyone’s surprise that Pokemon Sword and Shield have enjoyed absolutely ridiculous sales since their launch last month. Other than enjoying the series’ best ever launch in the US and having sold nearly 2.5 million units in Japan by now (of which they sold 1.36 million copies just in their first three days), the RPGs also collectively sold over 6 million units worldwide during their launch week.

Naturally, that success extends to the game’s digital performance as well, as revealed by a recent report by SuperData. The two collectively sold 2.72 million digital units worldwide throughout November, easily outpacing the sales of other recent Nintendo first party Switch exclusives like Luigi’s Mansion 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Pokemon Sword and Shield were also the highest selling console game worldwide in November.

All that talk of boycotting the game and stuff like this still happens

The general public went and bought it mindlessly. Never underestimate casuals.

There are also likely dedicated fans who didn't know about the controversy going in, as GF had them with "New Pokemon games!" Some people prefer to go into games blind, so they avoid details on upcoming titles in their favourite series.

Indeed. Voices on the internet won’t always have an immediate impact on commercial performance

funny how the 3d games are not in the top 5 haha

Giga_Gaia293d ago

It should be:
1) Gold/Silver/Crystal
2) Red/Blue/Yellow
3) Ruby/Saphire/Emerald

The rest can be put in any order you want.

No way original Gen 1 games are better than R/S/E

Rutaprkl293d ago

I liked Sword/Shield (Which didn't even make the list) way more than Scarlet/Violet, but everyone has opinions.

Inverno293d ago (Edited 293d ago )

IMO I think S&S is better because it's more visually appealing due to it's nice backdrops and linearity, but it was still meh. I couldn't bother finishing Scar/Vio, they managed to make an even more boring broken game only 2 games after S&S and that's quite impressive.

the amount of games with forced exp share making this list is depressing
even games like ranger or colleseum/ XD
or mystery dungeon, way more deserving
