Found in one pass only. The research team reads every source twice, independently; this record turned up in one reading but not the other, so treat it as less certain than its grade.

What this is

Boxed copies of Pokémon Sword (single version, excluding the Double Pack) sold in Japan in launch week, 11–17 November 2019: 499,753.

How it’s built

  1. Read from Dengeki Online’s weekly Japanese software sales ranking, where Sword was first.

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

Dengeki’s text gives 754,000 for Sword because it adds the Double Pack; the table row is singles only.
