Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been available to play exclusively on the Nintendo Switch for several years now. Despite the two games having issues with bugs, Scarlet and Violet sold very well. In fact, new updates on the game’s sales really show how much sales success Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have achieved.
You see, Famitsu reported that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have surpassed 8,300,000 units sold in Japan. This makes Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet together now the best-selling Pokemon game ever in the region. Pokémon Red and Green were the previous holders of that record, meaning this is the first time in Pokemon history that the record has been broken.
