What this is
Pokémon games in Nintendo’s million-seller list for the year to March 2017: 14.66 million copies sold overseas and 4.08 million in Japan, so Japan was 21.8%.
How it’s built
- Added the overseas and Japan columns of Nintendo’s million-seller table for Sun/Moon, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire and X/Y.
- Divided Japan by the total: 4.08 out of 18.74 million.
What we assumed
- Only titles that sold 1 million or more that year are included.That is all Nintendo’s table lists.
Sanity check
Sun/Moon dominates (15.44 million of the total), so this is mostly one launch year’s split.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
