Pokemon Sun and Moon become the fastest Nintendo games to sell over four million copies

Pokemon Sun and Moon have officially become the fastest Nintendo games in history to sell more than four million units. Both games came in at numbers two and three, respectively, on the NPD Group‘s list of best-selling games for December. Since their debut in November, the latest duo of Pokemon games has sold about 4.5 million copies. The last quarter of the year was the “best-selling quarter for software in Nintendo 3DS history,” with 7.3 million copies of first-party Nintendo games sold during the three-month period. Nintendo credited Pokemon, along with other new releases such as Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS and evergreen titles like Mario Kart 7, for giving the 3DS its seventh month in a row where sales grew over the same period the year earlier.
