The remake has become the ninth best-selling Switch title in history.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl have sold 13.97 million units combined since launching on November 19, 2021.

The remake has become the ninth best-selling Switch title in history since launching just over two months ago, joining fellow Pokemon titles Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee, Sword, and Shield in the top-selling charts.

Ultimate (27.4 million), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (25.8 million), and Pokemon Sword/Shield (23.9 million).
