It appears as if the momentum of has carried over from the end of May and into the deep, saturated skin of June. In fact, coming out of the recent Nintendo conference, information was let loose that the game has shifted over 2 million SKUs.
Nintendo Everything is reporting that during the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, Nintendo’s representatives did all that they could to assuage shareholders in the direction of the company still being in good hands, even though Nintendo’s worldwide president, Satoru Iwata, was not in attendance due to his recovering from a successful surgery, as reported on Hardcore Gamer.

Keep in mind that once they hit September they’ll see launching, followed by in October. From there, it’s all about that adrenaline surge from the holiday season rush. Here’s hoping the Big ‘N’ can pull off an upset to close out 2014.
