Pokémon Sun and Moon are Nintendo’s fastest-selling games ever in the Americas

Pokémon fever isn’t just for mobile games.

Nintendo revealed that fans of its monster-catching role-playing games made Pokémon Sun and Moon the fastest-selling games in the history of the company in the Americas. I already reported that games are, collectively, outselling Call of Duty and every other November release so far this season on digital storefronts, and now Nintendo is confirming just how well the pocket monsters are performing. In the two weeks since Sun and Moon debuted, consumers in the Americas have purchased more than 3.7 million copies from physical retailers and the digital eShop store. That is an 85 percent increase compared to Pokémon X and Y in 2013 — and they were the previous record holder for the fastest-selling Nintendo game.
