The Pokémon Company announced today that they have shipped over 7.7 million units of the latest Pokémon games, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, since their release on November 21st. A week ago we reported that the games’ sales had topped 3 million, so it looks like last week’s European release gave the games quite a decent boost. The previous Pokémon games, X and Y, are still the highest selling 3DS games with 13.29 million copies sold, so it’ll be interesting to see if these new remakes manage to catch up to them. Given that the Pokémon company are listing Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire’s sales as a 135% increase over X and Y, it could be a possibility. For a comparison, the original Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire versions on the Game Boy Advance collectively sold 16.22 million units worldwide, making them the best-selling titles on the console.
