Pokemon Sun and Moon is Very Popular Down Under

December 7, 2016 by Jordan Coetsee

Sales statistics released for Pokemon Sun and Moon.

In New Zealand and Australia Pokemon Sun and Moon, is following similar patterns to that of the UK and many regions of America. Pokemon Sun and Moon have become the fastest selling games for Nintendo in these places, and it doesn’t look like the pace will slow down anytime soon.

With a combined total of 240 000 units sold in Australia and New Zealand, Pokemon Sun and Moon beats the previous record held by Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Sun and Moon no only beats the previous record holder, but also absolutely decimates them as Sun and Moon saw a 67% increase in units sold over the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Sun and Moon has a long way to go if it wants to be the best. Pokemon X and Y; in a combined total; has sold 15.64 million units. But as the saying goes, this is a marathon not a sprint.
