Pokemon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Had Switch S Second Biggest Launch Ever In Japan

Following its strong debut in Europe, sales numbers for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have come in for Japan, and they are quite impressive! According to Famitsu, combined sales for both versions, the Double Pack, and download cards accounted for 1,395,642 units in three days. That number makes for the second-best debut for a Nintendo Switch game in the region, behind Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It’s a promising start for the game, and it’s worth noting that the numbers do not account for players that purchased the game directly from the Nintendo Switch eShop.
