HeartGold SoulSilver have the highest launch sales yet. How much? Well..
Its official. HGSS has broken all launch sales. In 2 days alone the initial shipment has been sold all together and its sold out all over japan. That's 1.5 million copies in 2 days. Double the platinum sales. Pokemon is in its prime time this gen and it only seems to be getting stronger. Source:

I think the overall popularity of Pokemon, added together with insane nostalgia factor of many peoples' favourite Pokemon game would be the reason for the high sales. I'm pretty shocked though, it seems that the franchise just stays floating on the water, endlessly.
I can only imagine that it'll sell incredibly well here too. Blasted Nintendo must have a pool of cash in their office. :p |
If you read the comments it seems that 1.4 million of those were pre ordered.

As for the US and other countries as well such as the UK, Australia and more, it is really unknown how high sales would go, but recordable most likely. Quote:
Pretty amazing how such a small card can capture so much attention. :P |
I'm content in knowing that my purchase on its American launch date will contribute to this outstanding figure. :D
appeal to older generation pokemon fans + appeal to younger generation pokemon fans = best selling game in the series by far. |
I'm not really surprised, because a lot of people wanted a G/S/C remake, and they got what they wanted. I really can't wait to see how many sales it gets here.
|
Wow, that's amazing. Truly awesome. Maybe the U.S will out do this nice record xD

wow 1.5 million copies in 2 days, that is really crazy
:t354:TG |
Im not surprised, HG/SS are the best Pokemon games to date, of course they will sell millions and break records! <333
|
Speaking of those numbers, this kinda makes you wonder, How many millions will be pirated in the next few days/months?

jk- well, i already pre-ordered both the games, so........ yeah.... i'm glad- these games are great :) |
Are they not going to sell a cheaper copy without the pokewalker? Amazing that they sold so many copies when the price is so damn high...
|
^ But I thought the PokeWalker was free-of-charge. D:
|
Free of charge meaning it comes with the game... right? Which would mean that it adds on to the price of the package. Something changed (pokewalker is the only variable) that made the game 20 bucks higher than normal.

I'm not surprised that HGSS sold so much. It deserves the sales, too, Their both wonderful games.
|
Thats pretty crazy. You dont really expect a pokemon game to do that and its pretty surprising for only a G/S remake thats on the DS. You would expect some other game on the PS3 or 360 to actually break the record for highest sales.

Quite believable, seeing how popular the original Gold and Silver were. Can't wait to see how many sales it gets over here.
|
Meh, I predicted these games would outsell Platinum. Hope it has the same luck here in US. |

I mean they're one of the biggest gaming industries in the US, just look at the Wii (WiiSports is the most sold videogame of all time). So, if you have that, then that's a HUGE market for them. Think of all the adertising they could do with that. |

I did expect a lot of sales.
The jotho regions where popular and where big to. It isn't a waste of money to buy these games their just fantastic. |
