Other figures include this being the fastest 3DS game to sell 1 million units, achieving this target within a day (and going on selling 4 million units worldwide within two days) and 1 out of every 5 3DS owners revealed to have purchased one of the versions. There have also been more than 2 million tweets in the past 30 days about Pokemon. Now isn’t that something?

Pokemon X & Y is also selling great over in Japan, where it is expected to cross over 3 million units sold in its lifetime. Check out our review for the game here.
