GOTTA COLLECT 'EM ALL THAT CASH!: New Pokemon Game Selling Like Hotcakes

Pokemon Black and White, best known for not combining to form Pokemon Gray no matter how long you leave them alone together with the bedroom door closed and everything, has sold over 2.63 million copies in its first two days of its Japanese release. That's a 2, a 6 and a 3 with like forty zeros afterward. Suck it, math -- who need you?!!1111

Nintendo has revealed that Pokémon Black and White, released September 18 in Japan, have sold a combined 2.63 million copies, making a record for most copies of any Japanese videogame sold within the first two days. For comparison, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions sold 1.58 million copies in the same time period.

Pokémon Black and White were also the fastest pre-selling DS games, with well over one million preorders before release. The games are set to be released in spring of 2011 in South Korea, North America, Europe, and Australia.

People be lovin' on all them monsters, son! Those googly bastards are selling like hotcakes. Unfortunately they're not tasting like them, which is why I threw up after dinner last night. GW used puke in the sink! Garbage disposal is super effective!
