Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, Black/White are still selling
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 7 Comments
Nintendo games tend to be evergreen titles. By that, we mean that they’ll continue to sell well after their initial release.
Case and point: the Pokemon games. Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, released in 2010, sold an additional 50,000 units between March 2013 and March 2014. Pokemon Black/White managed to move 160,000 units as well during the same time span. Lifetime sales of HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black/White are at 12.72 million units and 15.58 million units respectively.
Two Pokemon entries that aren’t selling any longer are Diamond and Pearl. They were at 17.63 million units as of March 2013, and nothing has changed since this March.

Shovel Knight sold 180,000 copies in its first month
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Yacht Club Games shared a comprehensive breakdown of Shovel Knight’s sales in a new blog post.
In its first week, the indie title managed to sell 75,000 copies (taking out Kickstarter pre-sales). Yacht Club said, “It blew our 2x-4x pre-sale expectation out of the water”.
There are a few reasons we think our preorder prediction ended up being such a conservative estimate. One is…we were a Kickstarter! That’s not quite the same thing as a preorder. People could only attain the preorder for a limited time, so the stats aren’t 100% aligned with what a preorder would do. We think due to the PC nature of Kickstarter, we saw a higher amount of sales on Nintendo’s platform when the game actually got released. Nintendo users are more inclined to buy the game day one rather than through a preorder on Kickstarter. Finally, the preorder prediction isn’t a set in stone statistic, but more like a guideline for what to expect. We had done a lot of promotion and marketing at conventions and on media sites to prove ourselves over the course of the year, and we think people responded to it in kind! Nintendo also did an amazing job supporting us through their store placement and own marketing channels.
