That record has now been shattered, with BDSP reached 14.65 million units total through Q4 2021. Not only was this enough to surpass Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire\u2019s 14.46 million units sold, but BDSP also overtook Let's Go, Pikachu and Let's Go, Eevee!. The Let\u2019s Go titles continue to sell well too, also surpassing ORAS at 14.53 million units sold. Sword and Shield still lead all Switch Pok\u00e9mon titles at 24.27 million units sold, which previously overtook Gold and Silver\u2019s 23.1 million lifetime copies sold at the end of 2021 to become the second-best selling Pok\u00e9mon games ever.\u00a0 Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus is also off to a strong start, selling 12.64 million units sold through March 31, putting it on the edge of cracking the top 10 Pok\u00e9mon titles in terms of sales after just two months on the market. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon also hit a new milestone, surpassing 9 million units sold on the Nintendo 3DS.\u00a0 Pok\u00e9mon overall had a big year on Switch, recording a total of 30 million copies sold across all of its available titles, including New Pok\u00e9mon Snap. Of those 30 million copies, roughly 27.29 million were sold just within the last six months with the launch of BDSP and Legends: Arceus.\u00a0 The Switch itself surpassed 107 million units sold, with Nintendo noting 39 different titles have now achieved over one million units sold on the Switch, including 26 Nintendo titles and 13 titles by other software publishers. This includes the highest annual software sell-through for a single family of the company\u2019s hardware ever.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20045619\/Featured-Pokemon-Brilliant-Diamond-and-Shining-Pearl-How-to-get-Munchlax-and-Snorlax-in-Pokemon-Brilliant-Diamond-and-Shining-Pearl-900x506-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590606"}],"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\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=590606"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590606\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1470045,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590606\/revisions\/1470045"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=590606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=590606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=590606"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=590606"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=590606"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=590606"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=590606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
