As novas edições do Pokémon são os jogos de venda mais rápida da história da Nintendo

By Ninian Carter

November 24, 2022 - As novas edições do Pokémon da Nintendo tornaram-se os jogos de venda mai rápida da companhia, com vendas de 10 milhões em 72 horas.

Nintendo’s latest game releases look set for blockbuster status after selling 10 million copies for its five-year-old Switch console in only three days.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet were both released worldwide on November 18, selling over 4 million units in the gaming giant’s home market of Japan – a new domestic record.

The games, which retail for $60 each, are identical except for the lineup of characters and collectibles in each version – meaning if fans want to collect them all, they need to purchase both titles.

After the announcement, Nintendo shares rose almost 2% – helping offset a November 8 slump of 7% when the company cut its fiscal-year forecast for Switch console sales by a tenth.

However, the latest Pokémon titles have some way to go if they want to enter the top 10 selling video games of all time.

10 BEST SELLING VIDEO GAMES OF ALL TIME

1. Tetris – 520m
2. Minecraft – 238m
3. Grand Theft Auto V – 170m+
4. Wii Sports – 83m
5. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUGB) – 75m
6. Mario Kart 8 + Deluxe – 57m
7. Overwatch – 50m
8. Super Mario Bros. – 48m
9. Pokemon Gen 1 – 47m
10. Red Dead Redemption 2 – 46m+
