Top-selling "Pokemon Emerald" is a different version from "Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire" and could be said to have the same position that "Crystal" had to the 1999 "Gold/Silver" release. Compared to the performance of "Crystal", which sold approximately 549,000 units in its first week to the 1,199,000 of both "Gold/Silver" versions, initial week sales in the region of 791,000 units for "Emerald" stack up well against approximately 1,093,000 first week sales for "Ruby/Sapphire". The title also has potential for more growth than "Crystal," which has total sales of around 1,551,000.
