Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Sell 10 Million


No one didn't believe that Pokemon Diamond & Pokemon Pearl would not be huge hits on the already highly successful Nintendo DS. If any game would have proven the lasting power of the DS, or the fact it is a money printing device it is these two games.

The marvelous point about this 10 million mark feet, is that the game has JUST been released in Europe. Thus means it is no where near its peak, and goes to show that over these past 10 years, Pokemon has really developed a lasting power.
