Earlier this week, Nintendo published their latest financial results briefing reporting updated sales figures for their various first-party titles.

According to these figures, Pokemon Sword And Shield have sold over 20.35 million units worldwide as of December 31st 2020. This means they have become the first set of Pokemon games since Pokemon Gold And Silver to cross 20 million units sold.
