What this is
Pokémon games in Nintendo’s million-seller list for the year to March 2019: 8.70 million copies sold overseas and 1.93 million in Japan, so Japan was 18.2%.
How it’s built
- Took the overseas and Japan columns of Nintendo’s million-seller table for Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee, the only Pokémon title listed that year.
- Divided Japan by the total: 1.93 out of 10.63 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
A single title, a remake aimed at newer players, so the low Japan share may say more about that game than about the market.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
Show the working
- Overseas: 870
- Japan: 193
- Japan share: 18.2%
- Sum of Nintendo million-seller rows (overseas/Japan, 万本): Let's Go 870/193 -> overseas 870, Japan 193
- Japan share 193/(870+193) = 18.2%
