As revealed today by Nintendo’s financial results, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield have sold over 20 million units. In doing so, they’ve become the first entries since Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver to reach that mark. Sword and Shield have currently sold 23.73 million copies.
Sword and Shield should eventually overtake Gold and Silver as the second best-selling Pokemon games of all time. Red/Blue/Green would be more difficult to surpass as those titles have collectively sold 31.38 million copies.

Switch sold more units last quarter than the Wii has ever achieved
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii | 0 comments
Switch has sold amazingly well, and that success continued into Nintendo’s latest financial period. During the
most recent quarter, 11.57 million units were sold. Nintendo managed to do something that it never did with Wii, one of its best-selling consoles ever.
Interestingly enough, Switch sold more units last quarter than the Wii has ever achieved. The DS, another hugely popular system, only has two quarters with higher hardware shipments.
We’ll also mention that launch aligned, Switch has overtaken the Wii for the first time since the beginning of 2018 and is only behind the DS. Wii is expected to pull ahead after March, but Switch should will lead again afterwards.

It turns that Switch has now surpassed lifetime sales of the 3DS. The dedicated portable moved a total of 75.94 million units. Nintendo ended 3DS production last September.
