Just bought my copy. Big launch day as well. My Gamestop store got about 60 in and we sold through at least half of them. Not to mention guide books were going let and right. Got about 20 guide books in and only have about 6 left now. Thick guide books.

I'd suspect just like every other Pokemon game that this will have a pretty good launch with sustained sales.

not a huge fan as i used to be in previous generation with Saphire, Crystal and so on but is still like the Pokemon concept

if this has online with random opponents and when someone turns off the connection counts as a lose, i can't wait for it

I lost my copy of Pearl, so I need this game ;_;

It looks like a big enough improvement over the original to be worthy of a purchase anyways. Love me some Pokemon :)

Sales just dropped under 10k this week, first time ever for this game I think. Probably sell 250K to 260K lifetime.

Not really surprising though, The install base is much bigger now than it was for the GBA.

yeah, i want it too, i'm italian.

So, that's the number of sales only in Japan? 1,95M?

It must be the greatest Pokemon game, even seeing at the comments of the owners, it must be.

Damn forgot to post my predictions here (Which I made a week before this game launched)

This game will have the biggest opening week of any game in Japan in 2008.

This game will be the best seller in Japan in 2008.

My predictions are going all right so far, holidays will prove me right.

@Endz: The sports franchises (Madden, Fifa, PES) are a guaranteed 5+ mil, and they come once every year. It's pretty amazing, really.

What other company can sell so much (5+ mil) on franchises over and over again. Also that 5+ mil is almost guaranteed (pokemon, zelda, mario, ssb, kart, wii etc...)

@rgelera

Please learn to do some investigation before claiming something is wrong. This site lines up with exactly what you just stated. Pokemon Diamond released on 9/13/08. The week 1 charts here at VGChartz covers from 9/7/08 to 9/14/08. Therefore Week 1 covers only 2 days of Pokemon Diamond releases, and VGChartz has 1 million sales, which matches what you claim to be correct.

:O can it get to a million. We all know japan has no legs:P

But seriously how much will this sell in Japan considering the 5.7 mil for diamond/pearl?
I think it will do a decent 3 million
