Despite only being released in November, Sword & Shield has already become the third fastest-selling title in the franchise. It could even pass the current title in second place Gold and Silver, as it is only 4.8 million sales away.
Although it initially got off to a rocky start with the announcement of no national Pokedex, the latest Pokemon game seems to be winning fans and it has been a smash hit.
