[DS] Pokémon Black & White sales data is super effective against previous US records

[DS] Pokémon Black & White sales data is super effective against previous US records [Image: game-news-image-2011-b2b02d7c5ad73391a2d...c8ec2f.jpg]It seems to be becoming a trend now, out comes a new Pokémon title and suddenly records are broken. The previous record was held by Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, which managed to sell 780,000 copies on their first day of sale way back in 2007.

Well, now we can usher in a new record holder, Pokémon Black & White have taken that respectable figure and surpassed it. By how much I hear you ask? Well, Black & White managed to push out 1.08 million copies after being available for 24 hour period in America. Pretty astounding figures and concrete proof that the Pokémon franchise still has plenty of consumer pull.

For those who haven't looked into the new entries, they introduce 150 new critters for you to capture and they are set in an all new region (which seems a lot larger compared to the usual ones) with eight new gym leaders to battle and conquer. Plenty of time to sink in the new entries, and it is time well spent as well.
