Ruby and Sapphire shift two million!

Posted by Staff
Following staggering levels of pre-release interest, Nintendo of Japan has today revealed that the GBA instalments of its super-popular Pokemon series have sold over two million copies over the weekend.

Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, which share the similar and profitable relationship as seen with the Red and Blue/Gold and Silver releases, have proved simply irresistible to Japanese gamers, known for their love of RPG gaming and collect ‘em’ up action.

At this moment in time, Ruby and Sapphire are well into the rationalisation process at Nintendo of Europe in Germany. As soon as a European release date is announced, we’ll let you know.
