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.

Yesterday, GameXplain held a live stream for Dragon Ball Fusions that spanned three hours. Get a look at the full archived version below.

Once again, some more characters from the upcoming Puyo Puyo Chronicle and their Auto and Special Skills have been revealed via 4Gamer (credit to Perfectly Nintendo for the translation):

puyo-puyo-rafine

Rafine

A confident and snobby girl from a wealthy family who studies at the Magic School in Primp Town. Despite that, she’s not really that good at magic – martial arts is her specialty.

Auto Skill: Filled with confidence (increases HP)

Special Skill: Etincelle (changes the color of a column of Puyo to yellow)

puyo-puyo-yu-chan-rei-kun

Yu-chan & Rei-kun

A sibling pair – and both of them are ghosts. Yu-chan is bright and intelligent, whereas Rei-kun is silent and backs her up in whatever she says and does. They like to talk in puns and riddles.

Auto Skill: Beyond the Veil (increases Recovery)

Special Skill: Silent Step (lowers the defense of all opponents)

Head past the break for more characters!

With the release of Pokemon Sun & Moon, the Nintendo 3DS has reached a pretty important milestone in Japan: on Nintendo’s home turf, 3DS software sales now top 100 million. According to Famitsu, the 3DS is only the third platform to reach that number in the last 20 years, after the Nintendo DS and the PlayStation 2.
