I know Pokemon is huge, but this is ridiculous. How much did it sell by now?
It's at 15.7 million lifetime as of June 2017.
To put the other post into pespective, Pokemon Switch would have to sell at least 20 million copies in 2018 to just outsell Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon and Odyssey. Nintendo will likely sell about 30 million Switch first party games this year. Pokemon Switch would have to be the best selling Pokemon ever (beating the lifetime sales of Red/Blue) in a few months in order to do what the other poster said.
So yeah, drastically overestimating Pokemon. I'm not even sure Pokemon is bigger than Mario alone, let alone all the other games.
