The original Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire sold 16.22 million copies worldwide by the time it was done, so the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire remakes are nowhere close to catching up. That said, 10 million for a pair of remade games is very respectable. Meanwhile, it should be interesting to see how far Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D can get before it stops selling, given just how different it is from other Zelda games.
