Metroid Prime: Remastered Sells 1 Million Units, Pokémon and Splatoon 3 Also Hit Major Milestones

Metroid Prime: Remastered has sold one million copies since it launched in February while fellow Nintendo Switch titles Splatoon 3 and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have also hit major sales milestones.

Revealed in Nintendo’s latest financial report, the critically acclaimed Metroid Prime: Remastered has sold 1.09 million units since its launch on February 8. Splatoon 3 also followed through on its impressive launch to sell more than ten million units while Scarlet and Violet have now passed the 20 million unit milestone.

Sitting at 20.7 million units sold through to consumers (and 22.1 million sold to retailers), Scarlet and Violet are up two million from the figures released in February but still fall a little short of 2019’s Pokémon Sword and Shield, which currently sit at 25.82 million units sold to retailers.

Scarlet and Violet are still performing well compared to most Switch games, however, as they’re currently seventh on the list of best selling software behind only Super Mario Odyssey, Sword and Shield, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Animal Cross: New Horizons, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in first.

Splatoon 3 doesn’t quite crack the top ten but comes in at 14th place on the list of best selling first party titles, while Metroid Prime: Remastered currently sits in 22nd place. Regardless, both games are part of the million-sold club that only 23 first party Switch games are a part of so far.
