Sales of Pokemon Black and White 2 are huge in Japan

6/28/12 11:00am

This is the first week of the release of Pokemon Black and White 2 in Japan and it’s made a ton of sales! How many Units have sold in Japan since launch you ask? Well it’s sold 1,618,621 Units in its first week alone! But that’s not all my friends, despite the 3DS being a hit (especially with a new model on the way), Famitsu has reported that the sales of the Nintendo DS (including the sales of the DS Lite, DSi, DSi LL/XL) has sold 32,855,241 Units and 6,288,334 Units of the Nintendo 3DS as of June 17.

Also the Pokemon Black and White 2 sales reached the 1,618,621 Units within its first two days of release which is a really impressive number. And I'm very impressed by both the numbers Nintendo DS' and Nintendo 3DS’ sold as well. Like me, are g1s pretty impressed by these sales numbers?

As much as I love Game Freak, they're undermining the 3DS by continuing to make games for the DS. I don't think the Pokedex 3D Pro or the Dream Radar are enough to gain enough Pokemon support for the 3DS. We need a full-fledged 3DS Pokemon game for the 3DS to get off the ground properly.

Meh. I still don't have high hopes for this game based off of Black and White, but only God knows why I'm going to buy them anyways...

honestly im not impressed at all this always happens with every big pokemon game (not spinoffs), it makes me wonder why people wont buy 3ds instead with the retrocompatibility , mmm i guess its for the cost of the ds, but again you can kill 2 birds in one shot

Wait til the U.S release and then there will be huge sales figures for this game. Which make me wonder how come this game was not a worldwide release.
