Japanese magazine Famitsu has published some new sales data for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl, revealing just how well the games are doing in Japan.

According to Famitsu, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl sold 1.39 million copies during its first three days on sale in Japan. These sales include physical copies of the games, the download card, as well as the double pack. This astonishing figure makes it the second biggest Switch launch in Japan, just behind Animal Crossing: New Horizons‘ launch sales of 1.88 million.
