Pokémon Legends: Z-A Sells Nearly 6 Million in Just One Week
Pokémon Legends: Z-a's impressive first-week sales of 5.8 million copies on Switch and Switch 2, with nearly half on the newer console, bodes well for Nintendo as they prepare for their busy season with anticipated releases like Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Kirby Air Raiders, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

Pokémon Legends Z-A Surpasses 5.8 Million Sales in First Week, Boosting Nintendo's End-of-Year Lineup
The Pokémon Company reported that Pokémon Legends: Z-A sold approximately 5.8 million copies in its first week, across both the original Switch and the newer Switch 2 console. While less than the 6.5 million copies sold of Pokémon Legends: Arceus during a similar period, these sales are still significant. Famitsu estimates that 873,000 copies were sold on the Switch 2—which has only been on the market for five months—while sales on the original Switch reached approximately 613,000 copies (excluding downloads). Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet continue to hold the franchise record, with over 10 million copies sold in the first three days. This success is particularly encouraging for Nintendo as they head into a busy end-of-year release schedule, including Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Kirby Air Raiders, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
