From 2017 data, BW2 had 8.52m lifetime sales

bulbapedia says their opening weekend sales in japan were about 1.5m, and that number had doubled over 80 weeks to 3m

assuming the same kind of rate wordlwide that would mean that BW2 had a worldwide "opening weekend" of about 4m

SS is still definitely on the lower end of the pokemon spectrum, though. like in the range of the HG/SS or FR/LG


X/Y Also had a 4M Opening weekend and ended up over 16 Million.

BW2 was just more frontloaded due to being a sequel rather then a new gen.

Releasing on DS well after 3DS was out and being the 5th set of mainline Pokmon games on DS also didnt help it have legs.
