More on Pokemon Sun/Moon’s second week sales in Japan and how they compare to X/Y
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Media Create reported that Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon sold 375,665 copies in Japan between November 21 and November 28. We now have additional information from the sales tracker, revealing that the split was 197,000 for Sun and 179,000 for Moon.
That means each version is reduced to about a fourth of their first week sales. Pokemon X (second week of 240,000 copies) and Pokemon Y (233,000 copies) also saw about the same reduction rate. By counting the two games from the Double Pack, Sun and Moon’s total sales as of the second week are 2,281,000 copies, which goes down slightly if compared to X/Y’s two-week total of 2,340,000 units.

Yo-kai Watch 2DS bundle was a hot commodity on Cyber Monday
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Yesterday, we received some information about sales focused around the Black Friday / Thanksgiving shopping period. The NES Classic Edition and New 3DS XL Solgaleo Lunala Black Edition were both cited as “products most likely to run out-of-stock”.
So how about Cyber Monday? Well, additional data from Adobe indicates that the Yo-kai Watch 2DS bundle was at risk for running out of stock. No specific data was provided, but it sounds like Nintendo has done pretty well in sales over the past few days.
Pokemon Sun/Moon are top Black Friday game sellers, NES Classic Edition among items “most likely to run out-of-stock”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Adobe has reported some findings about Black Friday and Thanksgiving sales in the United States based on its online shopping data.
First and foremost, Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon were the top sellers across all video games. The NES Classic Edition and New 3DS XL Solgaleo Lunala Black Edition are said to be among “products most likely to run out-of-stock”.
Over in the UK, HookLogic says that Nintendo, Pokémon and NES Classic Edition were a few of most-searched toys between November 7 and November 21.

Pokemon Sun & Moon are Nintendo’s biggest ever launch in the UK
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
Pokemon Sun & Moon were finally released in the UK and in Europe last Wednesday, and it looks like the delayed release compared to the rest of the world hasn’t hurt sales of the games at all.
In fact, according to Eurogamer, Pokemon Sun & Moon are Nintendo’s biggest ever launch in the United Kingdom – the two games combined sold more in one day than Wii Fit did in two weeks when it launched back in 2008. To put it into perspective, that’s more than 300,000 units.
This is even more impressive considering that the UK is usually one of Nintendo’s worst markets in the UK – it’s likely that Pokemon Sun & Moon sold even better in countries where Nintendo has a stronger presence, like France and Germany. Part of this sales success can definitely be attributed to Pokemon GO; sales of Pokemon X, Y and ORAS spiked during the summer when GO was released, and it’s likely that some of that carried over to Sun & Moon.
