Well, sorta. Pre-orders that is.

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Nintendo released a press statement revealing that Black/White have pre-orders ranking up to a staggering one million already, and expect it to climb up up to 1.5 million. Absolutely amazing. Of course pre-orders may be cancelled, some might change their mind but B/W is set to become the fastest selling DS game ever.

To put this in perspective, half a million people voted for the infamous BNP in the British general elections a few months ago, so scientifically speaking: Pokemon > Racism. Makes you happy doesn't it?

We tried to get a few more details from Nintendo, but they were too busy ordering their solid gold houses and rocket cars.

Stick around on PKMN.NET where we shall be waiting on the fence for any new Black/White info. In the meantime comment below on the mega franchise Pokemon has become and laugh at those who still call it a 'fad'. Perhaps a teehee, or a harhar, or maybe a dahahahahaha. Be creative!

Oh course, you need to take into account that the National Front thinks the BNP is a joke, so you'd have to add up all the people in total for a fair result. As well as take into account that Japan has more people. Great analysis.

gee Snagger, you almost make it sound like it should be taken seriously.

'We tried to get a few more details from Nintendo, but they were too busy ordering their solid gold houses and rocket cars' That made me laugh so much hahaha

Shadowmon I think black is more popular. Just because usually the one that comes first in titles will usually be more popular.
xLA on Thu 26 Aug 2010 22:14:56 UTC.
Mooseler, I think Silver, Sapphire and SoulSilver are all more popular. If Black wins, its because its just a more popular color in general.
