Japan: Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire sees 239,000 pre-orders in two days

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire are already off to an incredibly strong start in Japan. And no, the two games haven’t even been released yet.

Media Create reports this week that pre-orders for Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire have reached 239,000 units (including Double Packs). That number was reached in just two days, believe it or not.

While Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire aren’t entirely new games, in terms of pre-orders, they’re performing about as well as Pokemon X/Y did nine weeks before release.
