Pokemon Sun and Moon Smash Another Sales Record

[Diehl]

Pokemon Sun and Moon are continuing to the dominate the sales chart. According to Nintendo, the newest set of Pokemon games are the quickest games in company history to pass 4 million in sales. The two games have sold a combined 4.5 million copies since their release in mid November, which pushed 3DS software sales to its highest three month mark in Nintendo history.
According to the most recent NPD reports, Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon were the second and third best-selling games (for any system) in December.

Pokemon Sun and Moon are also credited for helping push video game sales to record numbers. The video game industry generated $30.4 billion in 2016, thanks in part to the success of the newest Pokemon franchise games. Pokemon Go's massive summer haul also contributed to the big year in revenue.

While Pokemon Sun and Moon are breaking short-term sales records, they still have a ways to go before reaching any Pokemon sales milestones. Pokemon Red and Blue sold a whopping 31.8 million copies during their heyday, a record that no other Pokemon game has come close to topping.

As of right now, Pokemon Sun and Moon's sales haven't even surpassed those of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, the lowest selling games in the franchise

I'm happy that SM are selling well but it's true that B2W2 haven't sold that much.... the numbers maybe changed a little but the numbers of B2W2 are still low

I don't like Black2 and White2 so I haven't bought the games
