What this is
Pokémon games in Nintendo’s million-seller list for the year to March 2021: 4.34 million copies sold overseas and 0.70 million in Japan, so Japan was 13.9%.
How it’s built
- Added the overseas and Japan columns of Nintendo’s million-seller table for Sword/Shield and Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee.
- Divided Japan by the total: 0.70 out of 5.04 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 year with no new main-series game, so this is catalogue sales of older titles, which seem to sell for longer overseas than in Japan.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
Show the working
- Overseas: 434
- Japan: 70
- Japan share: 13.9%
- Sum of Nintendo million-seller rows (overseas/Japan, 万本): SwSh 311/62, Let's Go 123/8 -> overseas 434, Japan 70
- Japan share 70/(434+70) = 13.9%
