Thanks to Nintendo\u2019s latest sales report, we now know that Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield have moved 23.9 million units as of Dec. 31, 2021. This pushes the game up past Pok\u00e9mon Gold and Silver for the Gameboy Color, which sold 23.1 million units in its sales lifetime. During the six months between April and December of 2021, the games sold 2.8 million copies globally. As you\u2019d expect, the most selling Pok\u00e9mon game for that period was the newly released Pok\u00e9mon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl generation four remakes that sold 13.9 million copies worldwide. See Pok\u00e9mon on Amazon The Pok\u00e9mon Company continues to support Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield years after release with regular competitive competitions and raid battle content being held in-game for players to participate in. With its new count of almost 24 million units sold, Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield could potentially take that number one spot in the coming years from Pok\u00e9mon Red and Blue, which moved more than 31 million copies for the Gameboy. At the time of Red and Blue\u2019s release, digital sales were not a factor. Given the relevance they have in today\u2019s gaming space, it would seem only a matter of time until a new Pok\u00e9mon game takes the No. 1 spot.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/22174030\/Pokemon-Sword-and-Shield.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527714"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1837"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=527714"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527714\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":527978,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527714\/revisions\/527978"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/363283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=527714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=527714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=527714"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=527714"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=527714"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=527714"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=527714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
