Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Become Fastest Selling Games in Nintendo History

Nintendo has made history thanks to releases of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet which shifted 10 million copies, including both physical and digital sales, in just 72 hours making them the fastest-selling video games to have ever been released on Nintendo consoles.

Despite technical issues that has garnered criticism, the games are among the trend of AAA game launching during the third quarter and their incredible successes, such as Sony’s God of War Ragnarok and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Additionally, the game has found success in the United Kingdom market as well, generating more revenue in it’s first two days since launch than any other Pokemon release in the United Kingdom has in the past.
