Earlier today the brand-spanking-new
Pokemon games,
Diamond and
Pearl, were released in Japan. Nintendo shipped two million copies, one million of each game, to retailers all over Japan. However, in only a matter of a couple of hours, ALL of the copies were sold. All of them. Along with the two million games sold, Nintendo also made out with over 500,000 new Nintendo DS handhelds sold.
I really didn't know that people still cared about
Pokemon. I mean, sure,
Red and
Blue were epic, industry changing roleplayers, but
Diamond and
Pearl? To me, once you've played one
Pokemon game, you've played them all. What do our readers think? Are you guys (and gals) sick of
Pokemon games? How do you think
Diamond/Pearl will sell in America?
