Tears of the Kingdom Sells More Than 10 Million Units in Three Day
The Legend of Zelda Series is now putting up Pokemon numbers.
With this information and Famitsu charts dropping this morning, we know TotK didn’t beat Pokemon: Scarlet & Violet. But this is FANTASTIC for the Zelda series and sees the series hit the mainstream now. Prior to Breath of the Wild, all but the most anticipated Zelda games would struggle to reach 5 million sales worldwide. Now, BotW is a 30 million selling behemoth and Tears looks like it’ll certainly replicate that success in the coming years.
The breakdown is 4 million in the Americas, 2.24 million in Japan, and 4 million in rest of the world = 10,240,000 units. Absolutely incredible.
For the record, we did predict a 10 million unit launch for Zelda - even if we felt we were being bullish! Receipt below:
