Additionally, Pokemon X and Pokemon Y collectively sold 220,000 copies in its first three weeks of availability.

We also have the following (Google translated) comments from Lavoué:

Fire Emblem: Awakening and New Super Luigi U are available for just $15 as of now. Thing is, you’ll need to find a store nearby as both are out of stock for shipping. Check out that link and you’ll find other titles for pretty decent prices as well such as LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins for $15.
