If you’ve been watching our website over the last week, you’ll know that we’ve talked a lot about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The reason for this was many-fold. First, the hype for the next generation of Pokemon titles was massive. Second, the reviews for the game were not the most positive despite being mainline games that usually have excellent quality. Third, the bugs and glitches for Gen 9 are one of the most talked about features within the titles. But people knew it would sell well even with those flaws and divisiveness. Today, we learned how well, and it’s a mind-blowing number.

The tweet below contains a message from The Pokemon Company, and it notes that in the first three days of release, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet had sales exceeding 10 million units. That’s right. It sold over ten million copies in only three days! Of course, that means when you add in the other four days since launch to complete its whole week, the numbers are likely even higher!

But that’s not the only revelation from the tweet. Because The Pokemon Company also stated that this makes Gen 9 the best-selling Nintendo game at launch ever!
