Pokemon Sun and Moon took third and fourth place in the UK sales charts respectively this week, but combine those numbers, and Nintendo have won big with the two latest instalments of the long running franchise. As of right now, they've already outsold not only ever other Pokemon game, but also literally any other 3DS or Wii game released in the country. That alone is an impressive feat, but the title has also managed to outsell two week's worth of Wii Fit sales from back when that launched.
While these games may not have taken the world by storm the same way Pokemon Go did back in July, there's no getting around the fact that the mobile game probably helped with this sudden surge of popularity. The franchise has never gone away of course, but it made a significant comeback in 2016.
The Nintendo 3DS is also retailing for a lot less than it used to ahead of the launch of the Nintendo Switch, and that too likely helped, especially with Black Friday sales last week. We'll update you on how well the games performed elsewhere when we can, but for now, be sure to share your thoughts below.
