Pokemon Breaks The Bank

July 30th, 2007 Posted in Nintendo DS by Brian Lockhart


How many copies of Pokemon sold does it take to make Nintendo filthy rich? 10 million is a pretty good start. Today Nintendo announced that they have sold over 10 million copies of their recent DS effort in all territories. No small feat when most software titles are considered highly successful by just breaking the 1 million mark. To add more fuel to the first, Pokemon DS just launched in Europe a few days ago, meaning sales are likely to still skyrocket for some time to come. Of course, 35 million DS units are still out there, still waiting for their owners to snag a copy.

The only confusing point in the entire Pokemon legacy is why after more than a decade, we have yet to receive a proper console iteration. It’s simply baffling why Nintendo has yet to capitalize on one of their biggest franchisees, only giving us a small taste of the epic with titles like Pokemon Battle. Are Pokemon fanatics not interested in catching them all from the couch? Will Wii receive a true Pokemon title, or will console owners be forced to experience lesser Pokemon efforts for all eternity? Maybe the tune of 10 million will change someone’s mind in charge of the decisions.
