Pikachu continues march towards world domination

[08.12.99] » Four of July's five biggest sellers are Pokémon titles.

   July's TRST sales data shows the Pokécraze has no sign of ending: four of the five top-selling games during the month are Pokémon titles. While GT Interactive's Driver took the top spot, Pokémon Pinball, Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Red, and Pokémon Snap occupied the second through fourth slots, respectively. Most impressive is the appearance of Pokémon Snap, released only four days before the end of the month, on July 27th. Despite its late arrival, the first Nintendo 64 Pokémon game still managed to sell around 151,000 copies, and may well top that figure this month.
