Media Create reported that Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon sold 1.591 million copies in its first three days in Japan. Additional information from the sales tracker reveals that Sun sold 808,000 copies while Moon was at 783,000 units.

If you count the Double Pack which also sold 151,000 units (containing two games in each), the overall total is 1.893 million. That puts Pokemon Sun/Moon at the same scale as X/Y, which sold 1.867 million in first week without the Double Pack. Both also have the relatively same sell-through rate of about 80 percent.

Folks are starting to get their hands on the Super Mario Edition New 3DS that hit store shelves today. Find some photos of the black unit below.

On the whole, people are pretty pleased with the NES Classic Edition – not withstanding stock issues. However, there is one complaint that’s been mentioned here and there. For some players, the controller’s cord is just too short.

Here’s an interesting thing about the controller: it packs in the same communication protocol as the Wiimote. Both use I2C, which has limitations with speed and length.

Had Nintendo gone with another communication protocol, it would have required new controllers just for the NES Classic Edition. On top of that, it wouldn’t have been compatible with the Wii U or Wii.
