Pokemon crimson breaks sales record – despite technology debacle

Pokémon Crimson and Crimson have sold extremely well in just three days.



Pokémon Crimson and Crimson have sold extremely well in just three days.

While Pokémon Crimson and Crimson suffer from massive technical difficulties, they still set an impressive sales record. Not only do they break the internal franchise records for the Pokémon series, but also for any game ever released on Nintendo platforms. No other Switch, Wii, or Game Boy game has sold as many sales in such a short space of time.

Pokémon Crimson and Crimson set an all-time sales record

Pokémon and Nintendo Record: It’s doing well on Game Freak and Nintendo. Despite being heavily criticized for clear technical flaws, the latest installment sets a new record. It’s not only the most successful Pokémon game since launch, it’s also the fastest-selling game ever released on a Nintendo platform.

Over 10 million: This means that over ten million units of Pokémon Crimson and Crimson were sold in just three days. Of course, these three days also include all pre-orders that were theoretically sold on the first day (via: GameRant).

The numbers work in light of the technically really remarkably bad condition of the game all the more memorable. We even devalued Pokémon Crimson and Crimson by a few points in our GamePro test due to the many stutters, frame rate drops and the sparse design of the world.

Pokémon Crimson and Crimson still leave titles of the type Zelda, Mario or Smash Bros. behind you. The company’s own internal competition could also be trumped overall. In any case, the new part is currently well on the way to catching up with Pokémon Red/Blue with a total of over 30 million copies sold.

The competition in comparison: Records have also just been broken at Sony. God of War Ragnarök is now the fastest selling first-party exclusive on Sony’s PlayStation consoles, also beating internal franchise records with 5.1 million sales.

Would you have thought that the new part would sell so well despite the problems? Are you part of the 10 million?
