How many copies did Pikmin 4 sell?
Pikmin 4 has now sold a total of 721,000 boxed copies in Japan, which makes it a pretty big success in the region. Pikmin is a franchise that typically doesn’t sell a huge amount of copies, particularly at launch, so these numbers are definitely good news for Nintendo.
We don’t have full sales information from all corners of the globe yet, so it’s difficult to truly know how well Pikmin 4 is doing. However, the game is outperforming Pikmin 3 Deluxe in Europe and generally seems to be doing extremely well compared to other titles in the franchise.
In fact, Pikmin 4 has remained the number one seller in Japan for five weeks in a row. This is a huge feat, especially for Pikmin.

What is the highest-selling Pikmin game?
The highest-selling Pikmin game is in fact Pikmin 4, outperforming the launch sales of all previous Pikmin titles combined – making it the most successful game in the franchise. It didn’t take very long for the game to become the fastest-selling Pikmin title, which should bode well for those hoping for a potential Pikmin 5.
In total, Pikmin sold 1.6 million copies worldwide, while Pikmin 2 sold just 1.12 million. Pikmin 3 reached 1.28 million and Pikmin 3 Deluxe managed 2.4 million. In comparison, Pikmin 4 is looking like it will have already sold more than those numbers by the time Nintendo releases its next quarterly report.
Bear in mind that we don’t have exact numbers for the newest game’s worldwide sales, and that the quarterly report will shed some light on just how well Pikmin 4 is doing. Still, it’s safe to say the game is a success though.
