Hopefully the "over half of these downloads came from America" part isn't lost on Game Freak. A guy can dream.
I thought Pokémon had surpassed Mario in total sales already. I remember reading about it a year or two ago. Maybe there are subtleties involved with whether you count spin-off titles or not, or whether you're talking money exchanged vs. cartridges moved. Or maybe I was misinformed.

This is 100% the opposite in the US.

After checking with actual figures (quick search on google shopping, with p+p ignored), it turns out that Super Mario 3D Land (which iirc came out with the 3DS) is about 35 quid. Compared with Pokemon Y, which from the same retailer is 33 quid. Pokemon's lost Ł7 in value in just over two years, while Mario's lost Ł5 in just over four.

In other $$$ news, TPCi made $2.1 Billion in retail sales (games, tcg, dvds, toys, clothing, etc.) in 2015. Despite there being no new main games last year, thats up abit over 2014 which itself was up from 2013. This 20 year old fad keeps on givin'! |
