Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been available for 5 days, which means that we’re beginning to get our first insight into how the games are selling. Although the quality of the new generation of Pokemon depends significantly on who you’re talking to, and the game’s technical performance is not a smooth experience, the sales are suggesting that this is likely another major sales success for the Pokemon franchise.
Nintendo has announced that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have sold 10,000,000 copies worldwide in just 3 days, making them the fastest-selling games in Nintendo history. According to Nintendo, 4,050,000 of those copies were sold in Japan alone.
