What this is
Pokémon games in Nintendo’s million-seller list for the year to March 2023: 16.77 million copies sold overseas and 7.53 million in Japan, so Japan was 31.0%.
How it’s built
- Added the overseas and Japan columns of Nintendo’s million-seller table for Scarlet/Violet and Legends: Arceus.
- Divided Japan by the total: 7.53 out of 24.30 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
Scarlet/Violet alone sold 7.35 million in Japan, a third of its 22.10 million, the highest Japan share of any recent launch.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
Show the working
- Overseas: 1,677
- Japan: 753
- Japan share: 31%
- Sum of Nintendo million-seller rows (overseas/Japan, 万本): SV 1475/735, Arceus 202/18 -> overseas 1677, Japan 753
- Japan share 753/(1677+753) = 31.0%
