Pokmon Diamond and Pearl smash sales records in Japan
Gotta buy 'em all news now, with Nintendo announcing the obliteration of terrified, Japanese sales records beneath the unstoppable might of their Pokémon franchise. Over five million copies of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl for the DS have graced store shelves since last September, a fact which makes them the fastest selling titles in the series thus far.
Nintendo also points out that the Pokémon franchise has sold over 155 million games worldwide through September 2006. That not only highlights the unwavering, cross-cultural appeal of Pokémon, but also humanity's overwhelming desire to imprison adorable little creatures in airtight capsules.
