Le vendite fisiche di Pokémon negli Stati Uniti hanno appena raggiunto il totale annuale più alto dall'anno 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 Diamante brillante e Perla splendente e Nuovo Pokémon Snap, with continued sales of Pokémon Spada e Scudo 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, in the year 2000, Pokémon fans were treated to Banca Pokemon Chespin Fennekin e Froakie, Pokémon Puzzle Challenge, e Pokémon Oro e Argento on Game Boy Color, Stadio Pokémon, Pokémon Puzzle League, e Ei, tu, Pikachu! on Nintendo 64, and had just witnessed the launch of Banca Pokemon Chespin Fennekin e Froakie (Ottobre 1999). It’ll take something pretty special to top that year.

Ancora, not a bad 2021 for Pokémon, allora. E non dimenticare, Pokémon Leggende: Arceus is now just days away, troppo!
