Pokémon Legends: Arceus Z Tops European Sales, Boosting Nintendo Switch and Mario Kart World Sales

Pokémon Legends: Arceus Z led European sales charts, driven by strong physical purchases that surpassed Electronic Arts' Battlefield 6. According to Game Business in the UK, sales of Pokémon Legends: Arceus Z on Nintendo Switch 2 outpaced the original Switch version, contributing to increased console sales, along with Mario Kart World. While sales dipped 28% compared to its predecessor, Pokémon Legends: Arceus Z still showcased the franchise's strength in the market. Battlefield 6, along with Little Nightmares 3, experienced a notable sales decrease (70%), while price reductions spurred increased sales volume for titles like Hogwarts Legacy and Borderlands 4. These figures highlight the ongoing shifts in the European gaming landscape.
