It’s always interesting to see how well certain titles do at launch. Some you expect to do well, and then some exceed expectations. When Pokemon Legends Z-A came out two weeks ago, I expected it to do well, but I wasn’t sure how well it would do. Would it make its predecessors’ first-week sales? Would it match up to the mainline titles? How would people feel about its different spin on a Pokémon trainer’s journey? The answers were plentiful and incredible. As I reported last week, the game sold 5.8 million units in a week, and we know it’s well over that by now, one week later.
However, in a new update from Famitsu, we know that in Japan, the game is still selling quite a bit. In its second week, on the OG Nintendo Switch, it sold nearly 200K copies, which brings its total to over 1 million in just Japan, and JUST on that console. As for the Switch 2 version, it sold over 70K, bringing that console version’s sales to almost 700K. That means, should sales hold, and they likely will, the game will be a million-seller on both consoles in Japan, which is crazy...
