Pokemon SM sell 3.7 M in NA in 2 weeks

[Cute Pikachu]

After becoming the most pre-ordered video games in Nintendo history, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon – the latest games in the wildly popular Pokémon franchise – have now become the fastest-selling games that Nintendo has ever launched in the Americas. In less than two weeks, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems sold a combined total of 3.7 million units. That's an 85 percent increase over Pokémon X and Pokémon Y – the previous record holders for Nintendo's fastest-selling games – during the same period when those games launched in 2013.
Gaf is estimating 7.5 M sold to customers in two iwithout Asia, a week of Europe, and other markets.

For comparison XY was at 2.3 M two months into its life in NA.

I bought one.

10 million should be a lock for SM before the holidays end. Stars could be a system seller.

There's just something about Pokemon that keeps people coming back. Dare I say that if Nintendo didn't have this IP in their corner they might have been screwed a long time ago.

Game boy and pokemon are the reason the gamecube didnt make them go 3rd party practically.

I do believe Go had a big effect in Pokemon mass appeal... at least it made clear people were starving to play a new Pokemon.
