Nintendo published FY3/2021 Q1 earnings release, which contains updated sales figures for many of their best-selling titles.
According to the latest financial report, Pokemon Sword And Shield have reached 18.22 million in total sales, making them the third best-selling mainline Pokemon games of all time.
For comparison Pokemon Gold & Silver sits at number 2 with 23.1 million sales, while the original Pokemon Red & Blue still reigns supreme at 31.38 million.
More to come
And it’s not the end of the line for Sword and Shield; with DLC in the fashion of The Isle of Armor and the still upcoming Crown of Tundra the numbers are probably still going to rise even more.
About The Crown Tundra
The second area unlocked by your Expansion Pass is the snow-swept realm of the Crown Tundra. See for yourself the beautiful scenery of this shining, silvery landscape! In this frigid area, with its jagged winter mountains, people live in small communities where they support and rely on one another.
A man named Peony will appoint you as the leader of his exploration team in the Crown Tundra.
You’ll then be tasked with investigating the reaches of this frozen land. And remember the Pokémon Dens that you’ve only been able to glimpse during Max Raid Battles? Well, now you’ll be able to explore their depths!
What’s more, it seems a number of previously unseen Legendary Pokémon make the Crown Tundra their home.
