gamrFeed by VGChartz is reporting that the Pokémon Black and White pre-order sales total has hit 759,252 units 6 weeks before launch. 155,122 pre-orders were purchased this week. On August 22nd, 2010, approximately a month before launch of Pokémon Black and White in Japan, there was 1.08 million pre-orders of the games making them the fastest DS games to a million pre-orders. With a couple weeks to go before that same '1 month till launch' milestone, the American pre-orders of Pokémon Black and White are on approximately the same pace that the Japanese pre-orders were on and could possibly end up beating that record.
