Pokemon Sun and Moon are Nintendo’s “biggest ever” launch in the UK

Pokemon Sun and Moon have officially become Nintendo’s “biggest ever” launch in the UK. Out of the gate, the new duo of Nintendo 3DS games performed better than any other Pokemon game, any other 3DS game and anything on Wii or Nintendo DS. This impressive feat was accomplished in part due to the popularity of Pokemon GO, according to Eurogamer deputy news editor Tom Phillips. “Pokémon Sun and Moon are Nintendo’s biggest ever UK launch. Bigger than any Wii game, even. Incredible,” he said on Twitter. “Bigger than any other Pokémon. Any other 3DS game. Anything on Wii or DS… Dat Pokémon Go effect.” GfK Chart-Track recently announced that Pokemon Sun and Moon secured a record-breaking launch in the UK.
