Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
A new report published today on Famitsu.com indicates that Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 have sold 1,618,621 copies in just two days on the Japanese market. Parent company Enterbrain provided the data.
In addition to becoming the first title to reach one million sales in Japan this year, Black 2 and White 2 are off to the third-best start on the DS.
Even though the aforementioned sales are mightily impressive, the original Pokemon Black/White games performed even better. The two titles moved 2,637,285 units in Japan during the same period.
