It was mentioned many times over the last few years, but the latest Nintendo´s console has been a huge success. Almost every single prime minister who has seen a new release on Switch has seen sales records. As of today, Nintendo has seen 10 IPs reach new heights on the switch. Super Smash Bros., Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing and Xenobladeron have seen their best-selling titles on Nintendo Switch. Arguably, the Mario franchise as a whole has seen great success, with its advanced IPs and best-selling spinoff IPs. 3D Mario has seen its best-selling title, along with Luigi & # 39; s Mansion, Mario Party and Mario Kart.
But Pokemon, Pokemon Sword and Shield are not the best-selling Pokemon games, but that doesn't mean they have never been successful. With a total of 17,370,000 units sold, Pokemon Sword and Shield are about to replace Diamond and Pearl with the third best Pokemon games released in the series, an achievement that has been held by Diamond and Pearl for more than a decade. There are only 2 generations of mainline Pokemon games that will have improved Pokemon Red and Blue, which sold 31,370,000 units, and Gold and Silver, sold 23,100,000. With the first Sword and Shield DLC to be released in June, it's all undeniable that Pokemon Sword and Shield will be making some stages of its sales.
