Nintendo has announced that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have sold 10 million units within three days of the game releasing, which by Nintendo’s own omission, makes it the biggest Nintendo launch of all-time on any console.
“This is the highest global sales level for any software on any Nintendo platform within the first three days,” Nintendo said in a press release.
This is obviously a massive number with Sony announcing earlier this morning that God Of War Ragnarok was its biggest launch of all time with five million units sold.
We gave the game a 7.5/10 in our review and said: “Whilst there’s still stumbling missteps as Game Freak try to find their footing in the future of Pokémon, Scarlet and Violet is an endearing, and enjoyable attempt at a fundamentally different Pokémon experience. New ideas, some quality of life improvements, and some excellent new Pokémon designs make the trip to Paldea worthwhile.”
