What this is
Pokémon games in Nintendo’s million-seller list for the year to March 2020: 14.94 million copies sold overseas and 5.02 million in Japan, so Japan was 25.2%.
How it’s built
- Added the overseas and Japan columns of Nintendo’s million-seller table for Sword/Shield, Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee and Mystery Dungeon DX.
- Divided Japan by the total: 5.02 out of 19.96 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
Sword/Shield is 17.37 million of the total, so this is mostly its launch-year split.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
