Pokemon Black & White sells 2.63 millions

[Juanmatron]

Pokemon Black & White shattered series sales records in its first two days of sales following its release this past Saturday. Enterbrain reports initial sales of 2,637,285 units for the game, the highest first week total ever for the series, and far above the 1,586,360 of 2006's Diamond & Pearl.

Black & White features all new Pokemon, new gameplay systems, and a more robust online component. One part of that online component, "Pokemon Global Link," had some issues early on and has been taken offline, with an expected down time of a week.

you should be.

it's really annoying how they put a region lock on handheld games.
more reason to pirate.

 

[coolness]

damn
thats damn much
how much while thay get in USA and EU

what do you all think?

 

[Juanmatron]

And then, Ubishit saying stupid things about piracy on DS when they no released any interesting game.

To be honest, I think piracy boosted the sells. I swear, Nintendo wouldn't be as popular if piracy was not possible. The popularity of this game was massive given the amount of pre-orders for it.

Actually, I re-watched that pokemon video tape I got in the mail when I was a kid.... I figured out why people are so addicted to pokemon. They used subliminal advertising.

Holy crap. More than Diamond and Pearl? But, Pokémon is really addictive.

 

[heartgold]

That's amazing, I'm glad to see my favourite game doing so well.

 

[Youkai]

Well I hope it really is a good game when it sells that good.

to be true I was hoping more for the latest pokemon games but to much remakes .... i am just waiting for the next re-remakes -.-V

with black and white they at least finaly made something new again, still would have preffered Wii games like the NGC Pokemon Colloseum (just with catching pokemon and such like in the good old gb games)
