What this is
Pokémon games in Nintendo’s million-seller list for the year to March 2018: 6.23 million copies sold overseas and 2.44 million in Japan, so Japan was 28.1%.
How it’s built
- Added the overseas and Japan columns of Nintendo’s million-seller table for Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon and Pokkén Tournament DX.
- Divided Japan by the total: 2.44 out of 8.67 million.
What we assumed
- Pokkén Tournament DX’s Japanese sales are missing.The Pokémon Company sells it in Japan, so Nintendo shows no figure; Japan’s true share is somewhat higher.
- Only titles that sold 1 million or more that year are included.That is all Nintendo’s table lists.
Sanity check
Mostly Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, a same-region sequel, so this is a small and unusual year.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
Show the working
- Overseas: 623
- Japan: 244
- Japan share: 28.1%
- Sum of Nintendo million-seller rows (overseas/Japan, 万本): USUM 507/244, Pokkén DX 116/– (TPC sells in Japan) -> overseas 623, Japan 244
- Japan share 244/(623+244) = 28.1%
