Pokemon Crimson Breaks Sales Record Despite Tech Debacle

Pokémon Crimson and Crimson sold extremely well in just three days.

While Pokémon Crimson and Crimson suffer huge technical difficulties, they still set an impressive sales record. Not only do they break internal franchise records for the Pokémon series, but also for every game ever released on Nintendo platforms. No other Switch, Wii or Game Boy game has sold so many sales in such a short time.

Pokémon Crimson and Crimson have set an all-time sales record

Pokemon and Nintendo Records: It works well on Game Freak and Nintendo. Although it was heavily criticized for its obvious technical flaws, the latest installment sets a new record. It’s not only the most successful Pokémon game since launch, it’s also the best-selling game ever released on a Nintendo platform.

More than 10 million: This means that over ten million units of Pokémon Crimson and Crimson have been sold in just three days. Of course, those three days also include any pre-orders that were theoretically sold out on day one (via: GameRant).

The figures work in the light of the technically really remarkably poor condition of the game all the more memorable. We even devalued Pokémon Crimson and Crimson by a few points in our GamePro test due to the many stutters, framerate drops, and sparse world design.

Pokémon Crimson and Crimson are still releasing titles of the type Zelda, Mario or Smash Bros behind you. The company’s internal competition could also be eclipsed overall. In any case, the new component is currently on track to catch up with Pokémon Red / Blue with a total of more than 30 million copies sold.
