Nintendo recently released its official revenue figures generated through its hardware and software in the last year, which was 2021. And two Pokemon games in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl emerged as the best opening remakes in the iconic series.

In fact, the 2021 remakes are now on course to become the best-selling Pokemon remake titles for Nintendo. The latter revealed massive sales for both these titles combined.

And together, they even outsold the company’s previously hit offering Ring Fit Adventure, which launched in 2019.

Speaking of the numbers, then the two remakes from 2021 sold a total of 13.97 million units. What’s even more interesting to note is that they made their debuts on November 19. This implies that just under the span of three months, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl sold so many copies combined for Nintendo.
