Nintendo has revealed Pikmin 4 has sold 2.61 million copies, meaning it's outsold every title in the series.
According to Nintendo's latest financial information detailing the second quarter of the fiscal year - the past six months ending in September 2023 - since launching on July 21 for Nintendo Switch, Pikmin 4 has managed to sell almost three million copies, solidifying it as the series' best-selling game (via VGC).
That's in just over two months since its release, beating out the previous best-seller in the franchise, Pikmin 3 Deluxe which launched in October 2020 and accumulated 2.4 million copies by December 2022.
Nintendo confirmed that 1.36 million copies of Pikmin 4 were sold in Japan, which is around nine percent more than any other region, where it has reportedly been the best-selling title in the country for some time.
In our four-star review of Pikmin 4, Kara Phillips said the latest title breathed new life into the franchise that was losing to time, adding that it welcomes "new players into a well-loved yet underrated Nintendo series, while simultaneously reminding older players as to exactly why they fell in love with the goofy world of Pikmin in the first place."
