Having launched on March 6, Pokémon Black and White have already found their way into millions of Pokémon fans' homes, with their first-day sales beating everything in their path.
In the space of 24 hours on March 6, the games collectively sold 1.08 million units, though figures do not yet show which of the two was more popular.
