Pokemon Sun and Moon Break Nintendo Record

Enjoying a bigger launch than any Super Mario or Legend of Zelda game.

Pokemon Sun and Moon are the fastest-selling Nintendo games ever released in the Americas.

The 3DS games have sold 3.7 million copies combined in less than two weeks, setting a new Nintendo record. Pokemon Sun and Moon have knocked down X and Y from the top spots.

In fact, Pokemon Sun and Moon saw an 85 percent sales increase over X and Y during the same launch period. And overall, the franchise has sold over 280 million games.

That number could increase even more with the reported Pokemon Stars, a third version of Pokemon Sun and Moon supposedly in the works for Nintendo Switch.
