Nintendo has released some new sales figures for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, this time revealing how well the games did during its first week on the market.

As reported by Gamebiz.jp, the games achieved a combined sales total of 6 million units worldwide during its launch week. This figure is roughly comparable to Pokemon Sword And Shield‘s worldwide launch sales during that same period, and almost double that of Let’s Go Pikahu/Eevee‘s launch week sales.

The strong sales seem to suggest that there is still a great deal of interest in the mainline series of Pokemon games, despite the mixed reception of many modern elements by fans. It should be interesting to see how the upcoming Pokemon Legends Arceus will stack up when it launches next month.
