This information comes from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa…
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, released on November 15th, is the latest entry in the Pokémon series. This graph shows a comparison of cumulative sell-through for different entries in the Pokémon series during the first 9 weeks after release. Cumulative sell-through for Japan, North America, and Europe in the first 9 weeks after release was 12.28 million units. This record surpasses Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, which held the previous record for best-selling entry in the Pokémon series. Sales have continued to grow since the beginning of the year, and we expect sales to continue as these become evergreen titles.
