Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have sold over 1.5 million copies in their first week in Japan, according to sales numbers from Famitsu.

Sales for the pair of games reached 1,534,593 in their first three days on store shelves, which makes this the fourth best launch for a Nintendo 3DS game (the other three being Pokémon X/Y, Monster Hunter 4 and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate).
