"pokémon gold" and "silver" continued the enormous success of its predecessors, beginning the formation of pokémon into a multi-billion dollar franchise. as of april 2000 roughly 6.5 million copies of the games had been sold in japan. "silver" proved to be the slightly more popular version, edging out "gold" by approximately 100,000 copies. by the first week of their release in the u.s.a. the games had eclipsed "pokémon yellow"'s previous record sales of a little over 600,000 copies; selling a combined total of 1.4 million copies to become the fastest selling games ever. the commercial success was expected, as peter main, the executive vice president of sales and marketing, stated "there's no question about it; kids love to play pokemon. so far in 2000 the best-selling game in america for any home console is pokemon stadium for nintendo 64, and the best-selling game for any handheld video game system is pokemon yellow for game boy color, but pokemon gold and silver will eclipse even those impressive sales totals. we project sales of 10 million units total of these two games in less than six months time". by 2010, the recorded sales of "gold" and "silver" were at 23 million units sold.
