Nintendo has announced that Pokemon Sword and Shield sold 1.36 retail copies in Japan, 6 million world wide on opening weekend . It out sold the previous record keeper Smash Bros Ultimate at 1.23 million retail copies in Japan, 5 million world wide.
Only game on the Switch that broke Pokemon Sword and Shield sales records was Animal Crossing New Horizons at 1.36 Retail Sales in Japan, 13.41 mill world wide.
None of that includes digital sales figures.
It sold so obviously 6 million people at opening weekend wanted the game when it was launched.
The game is fun because the core gameplay of pokĂ©mon is ridiculously fun. In fact, if youâre able to mod the game, you have a straight up good game.
But when I think good games, I think about games that arenât riddled with glaring flaws like Gym Leaders having literally the same AI as the first youngster you see in the game or well⊠This:
PokĂ©mon is a franchise still stuck in the âEternal Potentialâ of releasing a generation-defining game but itâs been fumbling hard ever since their move to 3D.
Donât get me wrong, Iâm still hella addicted to it and SwSh does have a ton of positive points like its QoL changes. The Isle of Armor looks great too.
But a solid 6 does not make a good game in my eyes. 
Btw, if you can mod the game, you should check this out.
Cool story bro. I had fun thatâs all a game need to do. God Hand looks like dog shit and its still one of the best games of all time.
So yea.

And people say that I shut down discussions. 
Brah, I donât play Pokemon for the visuals. I never did, otherwise I never would have picked up Pokemon Red back in the day. Graphics has nothing to with if a game fun or not. Pokemon was never known as a game series with cutting edge graphics. Itâs known as a Kids turn base RPG where you capture cute monsters and make them fight each other for money.
I felt Pokemon Sword was a great game as I had fun and I got want I want out of the game.
I wasnât talking about just the visuals.
Thereâs a lot to discuss about SwSh, but obviously no one wants to. Itâs ok.
Why are you deciding for everyone else?
Hey @Radiantsilvergun3 What did you get Sword or Shield?
But that what you wanted to bring up.
I didnât shut down discussion. I said graphics donât matter to me that much as long as the game is fun and then gave an example of a game with dog shit graphics that is fucking amazing.

I brought up one of the problems.
You wanna talk about the pathetic AI, the removing of old mons to âimprove animationsâ according to the directors when they literally recycled them from the 3DS and the posterior selling of them as DLC or do you want to talk about the mess of a story, even by PokĂ©mon standards?
Because after being accused of ânot leaving anything open to have a conversation aboutâ but getting shut down unless Iâm actively shilling something, my patience is wearing really thin with this bullshit.
Since I canât stand double standards, you wonât see me on the next thread. Yâall donât need to worry about me coming in to shit on your best sellers anymore.
Kay bye.

Cool. I am sure you, your Bro and friend has alots of good time together with SwSh.
My and one of my friends both got Sword, and a 3rd guy in our little group got shield.
I mean, there is precedent for a bad game to sell well. In DMCs case 1 did so well that DMC2 sold great even though it was crap. And because it was crap DMC3 actually sold pretty poorly, relatively even though it was a great game. Again, DMC4 sold much better though it had itâs issues too, especially for the majority of more casual players.
DMC5 is probably the first to break the trend.

Yea I personally wasnât arguing sales numbers as most of.my favorite games are commercial failures. I simply argued fun (which even @Volt admitted The game was) and graphics not being that important to me.
The claim was the game wasnât good. Iâm arguing the game is good. I never said beat ever or best RPG or even best Pokemon game or anything. I argued it was good and was slapped with âway to shut down conversation.â
