Pokemon Black & White Dominate Japan Sales

[PokemonElite2000]

Kotaku reports that Pokemon Black & White sold more copies than any other game released in Japan, including New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Final Fantasy XIII.

Pokémon Black and White moved nearly 4.5 million copies in 2010, followed most closely by New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii, which scared up more than 4 million sales overseas. The only game in the top ten not to appear on Nintendo hardware was Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIII for the PlayStation 3.
