Les ventes physiques de Pokémon aux États-Unis viennent d'atteindre leur plus haut total annuel depuis l'année 2000

The Pokémon Company enjoyed another cracking year in 2021 with plenty of new releases and success stories to write home about, including this latest little fact regarding physical sales.

The NPD Group’s Mat Piscatella has revealed that in 2021, dollar sales of Pokémon franchise physical software in the US reached the highest annual total since the year 2000. The success was down to last year’s launches of Pokémon Diamant Brillant et Perle Brillante et Nouveau Pokémon Snap, with continued sales of Pokémon Épée et Bouclier also doing the business.

Piscatella notes that Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl was actually Switch’s best-seller of 2021 in the US physical market, despite only launching in November.

For the sake of comparison, dans l'année 2000, Pokémon fans were treated to Jeu de cartes à collectionner Pokémon, Pokémon Puzzle Challenge, et tandis que Turner est souvent à la pointe de l'art des créatures adorables dans les jeux modernes on Game Boy Color, Stade Pokémon, Pokémon Puzzle League, et Hey You, Pikachu! sur Nintendo 64, and had just witnessed the launch of Pokémon Jaune (Octobre 1999). It’ll take something pretty special to top that year.

Toujours, not a bad 2021 for Pokémon, puis. And don’t forget, Pokémon Légendes: Arceus is now just days away, trop!
