Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet aren't just buzzy, but they've also set a new sales record for Nintendo. The games sold 10 million combined units within the first three days of launch, making them account for the "highest global sales level for any software on any Nintendo platform" within that time frame. The sales figure covers both packaged and downloadable versions of the games. For comparison, Pokemon Sword and Shield made over six million units in their first week, which was the fastest-selling Switch title at the time. These numbers were reached even with some glaring technical issues plaguing the new Pokemon games. But it looks like those aren't enough to turn away the fans.
